A source said that player is Jones, who is coming off a strong season with Milwaukee, and that he likely will supplant former Cardinal Gibbons and Dillard star Keyon Dooling as the backup to Dwyane Wade.

Jones is gone (hooray) Knight will be gone. I dont think he was horrible, but if we keep him it better be because we cant get Mo Williams and if we trade strickland.
Isn't Mike James coming, so it isn't really a loss, Milwaukee gets James, and Miami get's Jones who is a player they'll need.
Kind of sad to see him leave. I enjoyed watching him. And people, NO MORE ALLEYOOPS TO DMASE EVERY 5 MINUTES! Say it ain't so!

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting gmanspack:</div><div class="quote_post">He signed on Thursday. Goodbye Damon, if you could play D, you'd still be here</div>He's an <u>unrestricted</u> free agent, meaning if a team were to make him an offer, the Bucks would not be able to keep him by matching that offer.
Yes but Damon wanted to re-sign here, once they signed Mike James, then he left, it was in the paper here So my statement is right.
