It certainly wouldn’t have the magnitude of LeBron James returning home to Cleveland, but for diehard Washington Wizards fans, seeing a member of the old “big 3” suit up for the district again would be special.

Yesterday former Wizard and All-Star, Caron Butler, was traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Milwaukee Bucks for Ersan Ilyasova.

Butler’s salary for next season will exceed $4 million unless the Bucks waive him before June 30th. Given that his contract isn’t guaranteed, the Bucks will undoubtedly waive the Milwaukee native.

Last year, Butler said that he’d only be willing to sign with a contender if he were to be released.

With that said, the Washington Wizards were interested in signing Caron Butler last year after Trevor Ariza decided to leave via free agency. Of course, that never happened because Washington was able to convince Paul Pierce to join their team shortly after Ariza signed with the Houston Rockets.

Butler then signed with the new-look Detroit Pistons, who were looking for shooters. Tuff Juice went on to average just under six points per game for Stan Van Gundy. He shot nearly 38 percent from three this past season.

So, perhaps the Wizards will be interested in signing their former All-Star this summer?

With Drew Gooden, Rasual Butler, Will Bynum and Kevin Seraphin all entering unrestricted free agency, Ernie Grunfeld is going to have some open roster spots to fill this off-season.

I’m not sure if the Wizards are a legitimate contender, but you’d have to think that Caron Butler would enjoy playing for a winning team again, especially after spending the last few years on losing squads.

At this point in his career, Caron Butler probably won’t get more than the veteran minimum — which is worth just under $1.5 million.

While I expect Gooden to have a good chance to return, I don’t think Butler, Bynum nor Seraphin are going to don the Wizards uniform next season. If that’s the case, having a veteran player that’s still capable of producing on the bench like Caron Butler would be somewhat valuable.

Butler, 6’7″, is capable of playing shooting guard, small forward and probably even power forward in some instances.

As I pointed out earlier, he shot 38 percent from three with the Pistons this past season. The year before that, he shot over 44 percent from three with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

At the very least, Butler would be an OK third string small forward. If Paul Pierce comes back, you can expect him to start with Otto Porter getting plenty of minutes off the bench. That wouldn’t leave much time for Caron Butler, but he would be someone who could help lead the team in the locker room and even produce on the court when he’s called upon.

Butler has never played with a passing guard like John Wall, and I’m sure he’d get plenty of open looks from three. He was pretty much a spot-up shooter with the Thunder during his short stint along side Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, so he could play that role in D.C.

Maybe I’m fascinating too much about the idea of Caron Butler playing for the Wizards again, but unlike the other two members of the big 3, I think Tuff Juice still have something left to offer.
