The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded guard Dillon Jones and a second-round pick to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Colby Jones, according to a report by Shams Charania.
Colby Jones will not remain in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are expected to waive the 23-year-old shortly after the deal is finalized.
