Bingo.
Tyus is pretty much guaranteed to play at least 25 MPG there. He wouldn't have had that here without some significant roster shuffling.
And given how many scorers he'll be surrounded by and his ability to take care of the basketball, he should have another good season.
CoJo stinks, but he signed here to be a locker room guy/mentor and with the complete understanding that he is not going to play. He's a minimum salary guy the rest of his career.
Tyus is still in his prime and is trying to make as much money as he can. Once it was clear his market had cratered and he was limited to minimum contract offers, he went to the place where he could seemingly play the most.
