Cleveland Cavaliers Make Offer To Jamario Moon

CLEVELAND (AP) ― The Cleveland Cavaliers have confirmed their pursuit of restricted free agent forward Jamario Moon, who finished last season with Miami.

The Heat have seven days to match Cleveland's contract offer to the 29-year-old Moon. The Cavs announced the offer on Monday but did not release terms.

Miami, which may be pursuing free agent Lamar Odom and clearing out salary cap space for next summer, is not expected to match Cleveland's offer.

Cleveland has roughly $3.2 million of its midlevel exception to sign the 6-foot-8 Moon, who averaged 7.8 points and 5.4 rebounds over the past two seasons and is regarded as a good defender.

Moon led the NBA in steals-to-turnovers ratio (2.0) during the 2008-09 season. He began last season with Toronto.
