Jones replaces Joe Dumars as NBA deputy basketball operations boss

The recent general manager of the Phoenix Suns, Jones, known as a reliable shooter and a long-time NBA player, is changing jobs soon. He will replace Joe Dumars as deputy executive director and head of basketball operations in the NBA itself. This change represents a big step forward in his career and is a big deal for the league itself.

The question is what these changes will bring to both sides and whether someone will benefit in this story. It is clear that this story has a lot of interesting things.

According to journalist Chris Haynes, this former top three-pointer now enters the "heart" of the best basketball league in the world and takes on a great responsibility. He will be in charge of overseeing all basketball matters in the NBA, from disciplinary procedures against players, through the implementation of rules, to the creation and implementation of the overall strategy of the league.

A task that is anything but easy.

Continuation of a great career in a new role

The new head of basketball operations will succeed legendary Joe Dumars, a legend and Hall of Famer, who held the position for years. Dumars was a two-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons and MVP of the 1989 Finals, and during his tenure, the Pistons even selected Darko Miličić as the second pick in the draft.

The former shooting guard, who spent 14 years in the NBA, is best known for being a reliable player and teammate of the legendary LeBron James. He played together with him in the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers. From 2010 to 2017, he appeared in the NBA Finals every season, which is an indicator of his quality and importance for the teams he was in.

Now, as part of the league's basketball operations, he will be tasked with preserving competitive integrity and improving the system that makes the NBA a global phenomenon.

It will be really interesting to see how he will find himself in a new role, which carries enormous challenges and pressure from the public. His experience could be a decisive factor in this story, but also the qualities that we have seen and witnessed countless times.

We expect many more changes on the NBA scene.
