Heat claim F Jones off waivers
Basketball Betting Lines
08/05/2008 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat announced on Tuesday that the
club claimed forward Bobby Jones off waivers.
The oft-traveled Jones was waived by the New York Knicks less than 24 hours
after they acquired the forward's services on July 28. The Knicks sent forward
Renaldo Balkman and cash considerations to the Denver Nuggets for Jones,
guard Taurean Green, and a second-round draft choice in 2010, but the Knicks
cut both players while trying to revamp their roster.
Jones recently completed just his second season after Minnesota selected him
in the second round (37th overall) of the 2006 draft, but the 6-foot-7, 215-
pound forward has already played with six different teams.
He appeared in 44 games for Philadelphia in 2006-07, then averaged 3.8 points
in just more than 11 minutes per game this past season while playing for
Memphis, Houston, San Antonio, the Nuggets, and the Heat.
Jones appeared in six games with Miami last season, averaging 8.0 points and
4.0 rebounds during that span.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
