Not a player, not cash, and not even future considerations.
Nothing.
That's what the Cleveland Cavaliers gave the Utah Jazz for center Damian Jones.
Nothing, only agreeing to pay Jones's 2.6 million dollar salary was the only return for the Jazz for the 6'11 backup center.
Jones won two NBA titles with Golden State in 2017 and 2018 after the Warriors drafted him at thirtieth overall in the 2016 draft from Vanderbilt.
The twenty-eight-year-old Jones has played for six NBA teams, including two different stints with the Lakers, and was acquired by Utah last February from the Lakers as part of a three-team deal.
Jones averaged 3.5 points and three rebounds between the two teams last season, playing almost sixteen minutes per game in Utah, and eight minutes per game as a Laker.
Jones shot sixty-five percent from the floor as he rarely shoots more than a few feet away from the basket or tries a shot other than slamming the ball through the hoop.
I wouldn't expect much from Jones other than maybe the last big man off the bench and I think this is a case of two teams that work on trades often helping each other out a bit.
Nothing given, nothing gained.
