Most important targets for the Warriors: 2. Derrick Jones Jr

After declining his player option with the Bulls, Jones could be seen as a perfect target for the Warriors. Golden State needs versatile wings and signing Jones would help a lot. He would not be crazy expensive for a team that is gonna be bargain bin shopping for some of their rotation players.

Jones Jr. has a lot of athleticism and isn’t a bad 3-point shooter. He might be able to get more on the open market but he might be able to take a bit of a discount for a chance to win a title. He should be able to play solid minutes for the Warriors while having a chance to win a title.

Jones isn’t an elite defensive player but he’s very solid at that end of the floor and he could help Andrew Wiggins and, potentially, Draymond Green defend the LeBron Jameses, and Kevin Durants of the world in the playoffs.
