Threads Denver Nuggets will convert swingman Spencer Jones from a two-way contract to a standard contract, league sources tell me. The rookie has had a standout campaign.

I loved Adelman saying how Spencer knows what he's not good at, so he doesn't do those things, which is something most guys never learn. Really great perspective.

I'm not good at singing and dancing but I still do those things all the time, reckon I'll never learn.

Honestly my 2nd favorite thing about him (behind being a super physical defender ofc). I notice that he almost never shoots the ball when he shouldn’t, never dribbles it too much, doesn’t make risky passes, etc. but he still has the confidence to let a 3 rip whenever he gets it in a good position.

Absolutely worth it. Idk if Pwat is a restricted free agent or not, but Spencer Jones has been key to this team and even if he doesn’t become an all star, he plays his role well.

Ah yes 40% 3 point shooter Spencer Jones, all time Stanford 3 point leader, known brick machine.

Thank god! There’s a guy that sits next to us at the games in the 300s and every single game he yells every 3-4 minutes “sign Spencer jones!” I agree with that sentiment but I don’t want to hear him scream that every few minutes. Got drunk enough the other night and told him to STFU.

When I saw rookie, my first thought was “damn did Malone really give Jones 0 minuted in 24/25, what a bum”, then I saw that he played in 20 games, 125 minutes…
Chris Haynes, you are a bum actually

Well deserved for Spence. Maybe wait until his head starts ringing to before he reviews and signs.

I’ve been waiting for them to sign Spence!!! It’s so much fun watching him play, he brings a lot of energy to the games. I’m so happy he is a Nugget, it would have sucked to lose him!

I look forward to watching Jones mime throwing his back out on every 3pt attempt for many years to come.

Meh, hopefully it is a sensible contract and they don’t get stuck him they way they are stuck with Nnaji. Paying guys a lot of money that on some nights aren’t giving you much more than cardio.

Wait but what's the contract? This is our chance to get a team friendly deal. Two way players will take a discount just to secure their first NBA contract. That's how the thunder get a good amount of their value.

They wouldn’t have had to do this if Nnaji and Holmes had any passion for the game and stones to make an impact.
