The 31 year-old Guard-Forward had considerably larger deals out there, but again chose to make a family de- cision and remain home. Jones’ deal is said to be around the $1.4 veteran’s minimum. It is a 3-year contract and all guaran- teed. This is a huge pick- up for a small price for the HEAT. Jones, who won the All-Star 3-point shoot- out, is a specialist, and has accepted that role. Jones opted out of his contract to become a free agent, only to sign again with the HEAT. Jones was born and raised in Miami, and went to the University of Miami. What this does for the HEAT is create a world of depth on the wings.
