Despite being the subject of trade rumors and noting the impending arrival of yet another perimeter player, Heat shooting guard Eddie Jones isn't ready to pack his bags.

Now that Lamar Odom has become Heat property, Jones is more interested in transforming the Heat back into a winner than changing jerseys.

"I haven't won a championship, but I've won throughout my whole career and to go through two years of this, it's tough," Jones said.

"My decision is [to] stay here and play. I'm under contract. I'm here playing. I'm happy, healthy and am just sitting back waiting to see what happens."

In Jones' first six years in the league with the Lakers and Hornets, his teams won 48 games or more every season except for the lockout-shortened 1998-99 campaign. He helped the Heat win 50 games his first season in Miami, before Alonzo Mourning's illness and Tim Hardaway's departure contributed to back-to-back losing seasons.

Last year was doubly frustrating because ankle injuries forced Jones to miss a career-high 35 games. Still, Jones, 31, led the Heat in scoring average (18.5 points), 3-pointers made (98) and 3-point percentage (career-high 40.7, 10th in the league). He tied for the team lead in 20-point games (22).

"You're not healthy, number one, and things aren't going great out on the floor," he said. "Adversity strengthens you somehow and that's the way I'll go at it. I'm going into the season ready to play and try to win."

Jones, who has been traded twice before, realizes it's senseless to worry.

"I don't make decisions. Everything's out of my hands. I can't control anything," said Jones, who is owed about $55.8 million over the next four years. "Let's get people to camp and see where we are. Nobody's bigger than a trade. My attitude is if I'm here, I'm here. If not, I understand. I know it's business."
