Caron Butler open to return to Miami

[cruzg24]

Caron Butler helped the Dallas Mavericks get to the playoffs last season, where the team earned its first NBA title, but FOX Sports reports that he'd be open to leaving there and heading back to the Miami Heat, where he hasn't played since the 2003-4 season.

Butler, of course, wasn't involved in the playoffs since he went down with a knee injury in January. When the lockout ends, Butler will be an unrestricted free agent and he told FOX that Miami and Dallas are the two teams that interest him most.

"That's pretty much it," Butler said FOX. "I don't want to throw no (other) teams out there. But I am open to any suggestions."

In the 29 games the two-time All-Star played for the Mavs last season, the 31-year-old averaged 15 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.

I'd love to see him on the team. Not really sure where he would fit in though unless LeBron ran the point and he started at SF. I can't see him coming here unless he's guaranteed to start.

I'd much rather get a big man who can defend the paint and isn't 6'9 with whatever money we would throw at Butler though.

Id love for Caron to come back, not likely to happen though

If they could afford to bring him in, I think he'd be a huge upgrade depth-wise.

Too early for all of this. We don't even know how the cap will work.
