According to the report of ESPN's well-known reporter Shams Charania, the Chicago Bulls completed a contract renewal with backcourt player Tre Jones, and Jones received a three-year contract renewal contract with a total amount of 24 million yuan from the Bulls.

Before this year's trading deadline, the Bulls completed a deal with the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings. Jones, Zach Collins, and a first-round pick, were packaged by the Spurs to the Bulls, and the Bulls sent Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings. After joining the Bulls, Jones played 18 times in total, with averaging 25.3 minutes per game, with averaging 11.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 50%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 88.2%.

Jones' overall performance after joining the team was pretty good. He also maintained a pretty good offensive efficiency on the offensive end. His feel outside the three-point line far exceeded everyone's expectations. His performance in passing and organizing offense is also worthy of recognition. Jones can also effectively assume the role of core in the backcourt on the court. His performance on the court has also improved significantly compared to when he played for the Spurs before. He also proved that as long as he can get a stable ball, he has the ability to assume a lot of responsibilities on the court. When playing for the Spurs, Jones had very limited playing time and he could not get enough ball rights and mobile phone opportunities on the court, which also led to his performance not being completely satisfactory. I believe that it is because of the outstanding performances of this series of performances after joining the Bulls that the team chose to provide him with such a competitive offer. From the Bulls' perspective, they lost substitute backfield player Lonzo Ball in a previous deal, but they also got winger Isaac Okoro from the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, Ball kept getting high in the second half of last season, and Jones also got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities. The Bulls need to have a qualified ball holder in the second team, and Jones is indeed able to do this task well. Compared to Ball, who is unable to play due to injuries at any time, Okoro's arrival has improved the team's talent and athletic ability, and the overall strength of the team seems to have been further improved. I don’t know what kind of performance Jones will perform next season. Can he help the team improve their competitiveness and launch an attack on the playoffs next season?
