Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal 

Firstly, the Warriors are in a unique position to get their own pick back here. In doing so, they regain some control over their own destiny. That alone is immensely valuable. 

Of course, the Warriors will be hoping to repeat as NBA champions in 2022-23. A 2024 first-round pick won’t help them to do that. For this deal to work, it has to suit them in the present as well. 

Luckily, it ought to. Brooks may not be as versatile or impactful of a defender as Green, but he’s still a handful. The Warriors could bump Andrew Wiggins up to the 4, and have a spaced-out attack that should be lethal in transition. 

Meanwhile, Tyus Jones is one of the best backup point guards in the NBA. His brand of game-managing, low-turnover basketball ought to suit the Warriors perfectly.

Just as importantly, he’ll be able to spell Steph Curry, allowing the veteran to rest ahead of the 2022-23 postseason. 

In all likelihood, Jones can build up some goodwill with his teammates in the process.
