Nothing this year. If Butler wants another crack at it with the Heat, he'll have to wait till this summer.

[h1]Is it time for Da’Sean Butler Part II?[/h1]
by: Ira WindermanMarch 22nd, 2011





He’s back. Da’Sean Butler posted on his Twitter account Monday that he finally has been cleared for court work from the devastating knee injury that knocked him out of last season’s Final Four. The Heat 2010 second-round pick has been undergoing his therapy in Miami, part of the agreement when he was released by the Heat at the end of training camp, still unable to play at that point.

By rule, Butler is a free agent, free to sign with the team of his choice.

But one has to wonder about the greater truth, considering the Heat not only signed him for the current season, well aware of the unlikelihood that he would play, but also provided partial guaranteed compensation for next season.

In other words, it will be interesting to see if there is a return from the $300,000 the Heat guaranteed him for 2010-11 and the $394,000 the Heat guaranteed for next season.

Butler would be playoff eligible for any team he signs with, since he has not played in the league this season.

Reached Tuesday, Butler’s agent, Richard Katz, told the SunSentinel, “He’s cleared to play. We’ve had some discussions with the Heat, but right now we’re just evaluating.

Who could ever forget this ....... Damn

! I still feel that He'll be a valuable asset to some team, if not the Heat.

Loved what I saw last night. Despite getting dunked on, Bosh played a hell of a game for us. The Defense in that 4th quarter was outstanding.

Spurs have signed Da'Sean Butler ...... Happy that he'll get a chance!

[h1]Haslem making strides toward return for Heat[/h1]

MIAMI — Udonis Haslem grabbed a basketball, leaped toward the rim and dunked with two hands, hanging on the basket for a few moments afterward.

For most NBA players, this doesn't exactly merit a celebration.

For Haslem, it's significant progress. A week ago, he couldn't have come close to doing that.

Haslem's recovery from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his foot is now in its fifth month, but some signs suggest he may be on pace to make his long-awaited return to the Miami Heat lineup before the regular season ends.

Originally, Haslem was targeting a return to the court by late March, but is now taking a decidedly more-cautious approach.

"It's not hard because it's the smart decision," Haslem said. "It's the smart decision. This injury is a little different, so I have to approach it a little differently than I have in the past. Having so much time off, I had time to research the injury and learn more about it and understand it a little bit."

That being said, he'll take a significant step on Monday.

Miami typically leaves injured and rehabilitating players at home when venturing out on road trips, so recovery schedules are undisturbed. But with virtually the entire Heat training staff accompanying the team on a four-game swing starting Tuesday in Cleveland, Haslem will travel with the club for the first time since getting hurt in November.

Injured Heat guard Mario Chalmers (sprained knee) is also recovering and is expected on the road trip. Barring any late changes, it will be the first time this 15-man Heat roster is together away from a game in Miami.

"That's the plan," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "The plan is to have the complete 'Band of Brothers' going with us."

Haslem has been lobbying to be with his team on the road for weeks, always to no avail.

"It means a lot," Haslem said. "You miss the camaraderie. You miss the trips. Even though you miss your family and you'd love to be with your family, it's a time to get away and really bond on the road, having dinner out as a team and doing things like that. Those are the things that you miss aside from basketball."

Haslem had surgery Nov. 23 to repair a torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot, an injury that typically needs at least four months — and in some cases, eight months or more — to heal. It's not an easy recovery, even after surgery, and trying to prepare for the rigors of NBA basketball certainly doesn't help the cause.

He was averaging 8.0 points and 8.2 rebounds when he got hurt, and even in his absence, Haslem — who is one of two Heat players left from the 2006 championship team, fellow co-captain Dwyane Wade being the other — has remained one of the emotional leaders in the locker room.

He has little doubt that he'll be ready to help the Heat come playoff time.

"I'm making good strides," Haslem said. "It's looking good. I'm not thinking I'm coming back to play 30 minutes, score 25 points and grab 15 rebounds. That's not the point. But I do think I can come back and contribute something."

Hope Haslem gets back on track....

They barely won against a close to .500 team. We know the Heats can beat the mediocre and bad teams. Let me know when they do this against  Boston...


...in May
