Spurs interested in bringing Tre Jones back in free agency
The Spurs will be motivated to spend at least the roughly $26 million required to reach the floor. The most obvious place for the Spurs to start running up a tab is in retaining their own free agents. Chief on that list is Tre Jones, the 23-year-old point guard who started 68 games at that position last season. He is set to become a restricted free agent, meaning the Spurs can match outside offers for him. Publicly and privately, team decision-makers have expressed keen interest in bringing Jones back as either a starter or backup.

Regarding the previous two Tweets from the great @tom_orsborn:
1) I’m expecting the Spurs to make every reasonable effort to bring back Tre Jones.
2) I’d expect Dominick Barlow to remain on a two-way deal. The Spurs get three of them this year. – 1:54 PM
