I don't know. I'm a huge Diallo fan and think Terrence Jones hinders Diallo's development, but Terrence Jones has had 7 starts and he's averaging 20.3/8.4 in those starts. In the 5 starts where AD was out he's averaging 24.6/8.8

Where else are we going to find a player for $10 million or less that can pick up a good chunk of the scoring load when AD misses a game? With as many games as AD misses and not having a guard/wing capable of putting up much more than 30 on their best night, you need someone like Jones that can fill in for AD when he inevitably misses time.

Jones is going to get paid. Us paying him big money would make me lose my shite. We would have pretty much literally the same roster next year.

Paying a guy $10M as a contingency for AD being out is silly.
