How many playoff hardened vets does a team need? I just don't buy that narrative. Every player on this team outside of like 2 has been in the league a long time and all made deep playoff runs. Even the new guys like Korver and Deron.
You may think it's dumb. But we don't know what he did for the locker room last year. He is obviously well-respected by the main vets and responded well to playing time in the finals last year. Liggins is the age of a vet but without the experience and respect that Jones has.
Not saying Jones is better but just a better fit. Both are practically unplayable vs the warriors because of offense deficiency. So better have the "been there done that guy" IMHO especially when you're not cutting a guy with a ton of potential.
