With all the money being thrown around in the NBA this off-season, we couldn’t blame just about anyone for trying to get a job with a team.

Well, what about a guy with one of the best mid-range jumpers of all-time?

Former Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton, 38, is more than just contemplating a comeback. He told CBS Sports that his agent is putting out feelers around the league while he commits the next month to training to get back into playing shape.

“I’m giving myself 30 days where I am really hitting the gym,” Hamilton told Anatha Pandian. “I’m working on my game. I’m in the weight room. I’m running my two, three miles a day. And I’m trying to see if my body can hold up. If my body can hold up after these 30 days, I will be making a comeback.”

Hamilton hasn’t played since 2013, when he barely did for the Chicago Bulls. Of course, he spent the bulk of his career with the Pistons as the leading scorer for the six-time Eastern Conference finalists.

The smooth-shooting guard from UConn is the Pistons’ all-time leading playoff scorer.

But he said this comeback isn’t just about cashing in one more time -- nor chasing a championship ring.

“I’m actually doing it for (my kids) and for myself, too, to get an opportunity to make one more run at it,” Hamilton said. “And if there’s an opportunity where I could go out and win another championship, I’m all for it.”

Hamilton isn’t the only guy looking to make a comeback. Fellow former UConner Ray Allen, 40, reportedly also is interested after a two-year “break.” Stephen Jackson, 38, also is looking for one more shot. He has talked to Golden State about participating in training camp.
