Mavericks are quickly realizing why the Magic were fine trading Tyus Jones

The Dallas Mavericks struck gold last month when they traded Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards for multiple expiring contracts. One of the players included in the three-team deal was former NCAA champion Tyus Jones. The veteran guard was expected to gain valuable minutes after being sent to Dallas, as the team desperately needed a guard to help carry the offense and help space the floor.

However, there is just one problem: Jones isn't the same player he once was. He isn't going to average double-digit points or spread the ball with ease like he used to with the Memphis Grizzlies, Washington Wizards, and Phoenix Suns.
