Jamario Moon Loses Heat, Joins Cavs

MIAMI (CBS4) ―

Restricted free-agent Jamario Moon left the beaches of Miami for the snows of Cleveland, after the Miami Heat said Friday they had decided not to match the offer sheet Moon signed with the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers had roughly $3.2 million of its midlevel exception to sign the 6-foot-8 Moon.

The Heat's decision gives them more flexibility this offseason. They have been courting free-agent forward Lamar Odom, and they've been linked to a potential trade involving Utah forward Carlos Boozer.

Moon and Jermaine O'Neal were acquired by the Heat from Toronto in February for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. Moon, regarded as a good defender, appeared in 80 games last season, with 60 starts, and averaged 7.2 points and 4.6 rebounds.
