Grizzlies waive Eddie Jones; Sign Wil Conroy

[dvdbumpus]

Eddie Jones has been waived, and it appears he's going to sign with Miami (why couldn't it be a west coast team?). In his place, Wil Conroy was signed to a 10 day contract. I'm glad he made it to a NBA team as he seemed to be a good guy with potential.

If I were Eddie Jones, Miami wouldn't be at the top of my list.
They dumped him last season prior to their championship run, after he put in a lot of good years for the Heat organization. Plus theres no way that the Heat can get back to playing at a level high enough to compete with the Suns, Mavs and Spurs this season.

Would Dallas want him at all? Cleveland? I don't think many teams would want his salary on his team with minimal return in performance.

I take it he's not performing well? I remember him being a real good player. Would love to have him as a vetran player on our team. Even if his game is slipping.

Dallas wanted him, as I read Avery Johnson talked to Jones but AJ couldn't guarantee much playing minutes. So he decided to go back to Miami, according to last rumors.
