Mavs add depth with Jones
8/08/2007
The Dallas Mavericks added veteran depth to their bench on Monday, signing guard Eddie Jones.
Jones split last season with the Miami Heat and the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 7.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 64 combined games.
Jones, 35, owns career averages of 15.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in parts of 13 seasons with the Heat, Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Hornets franchise.
A three-time All-Star, Jones figures to provide a solid shooting option to a Mavericks bench which already features Jerry Stackhouse, a finalist for last season's NBA Sixth Man of the Year award.
