In June, the team went out and drafted what it hopes to be Jones' long-term replacement, using the No. 4 pick to select Connecticut star Stephon Castle. A week later, the Spurs brought in Jones' short-term replacement in Chris Paul. Jones says he was neither bothered nor disappointed at the Spurs' offseason machinations at point guard. "That thought never crossed my mind," Tre Jones said. "My main thing has been just wanting to win games." -via San Antonio Express-News / September 17, 2024
