The Dallas Mavericks have waived point guard Tyus Jones, one of the players involved in the three-team trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards.

The Mavericks have decided to waive veteran guard Tyus Jones, allowing him to enter the buyout market and join a contending team.

Khris Middleton chose to remain with the Mavericks rather than pursue a buyout, and that makes sense. As relayed by The Stein Line’s Marc Stein, had Middleton negotiated a buyout, he would have forfeited his Bird rights — a key factor as he approaches unrestricted free agency this summer.

UCLA would go on to win its only title since John Wooden retired in 1975. About 14 months after Edney’s stunner against Mizzou, Debbie Jones gave birth to her second son and named him after UCLA’s ‘95 star, and 20 years and 3 days later, Jones led Duke to a national championship also.
