4 – Caron Butler:

Caron Butler is another former Oklahoma City Thunder player who could come back and give the Thunder a great forward off the bench. With an already lacking forward position, adding a veteran presence behind Roberson could really benefit the team in crunch time.

During Butler’s short 22 game span with the Thunder, he averaged 9.7 points per game, but he was also shooting a career high from three point land at 44%.

Butler hit some clutch shots for the Thunder during those playoffs, and if he returns, he could do the same this year.
