In the SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL, Ira Winderman, "following through on his vow to bolster his team's depth, Heat President Pat Riley was poised early this morning to sign former University of Miami 3-point specialist James Jones to a free-agent contract. With the free-agent signing period commencing today at midnight, Riley prepared a five-year deal to Jones starting at $4 million for next season. The final three years of the contract would be conditional to protect the Heat for the 2010 free-agency period. In addition to making its move on Jones, the Heat also stood poised to use part of its salary cap exception money to sign second-round pick Mario Chalmers."
