Return of the Butler?

Among outside options could be the low-cost likes of a Damon Jones, revisiting camp-cut Matt Walsh or a bigger trade, the Heat having in the offseason investigated Ben Gordon when he was a free agent.

"I think we're going to go into the season with what we have," Heat President Pat Riley said. "We're not going to to sign any more players at the minimum."

Beyond Cook, Spoelstra said he felt the team could get 3-point contributions from defensive specialist Yakhouba Diawara and point guard Chris Quinn.

But no one on the roster presents the 3-point pedigree of Jones, who finished third in the league last season at 44.4 percent, behind only Kapono and Steve Nash.

Cook, coming off offseason shoulder surgery, said he believes he can step up to the challenge.

Cook said his preseason 3-point percentage is deceiving because he opened camp wearing a protective pad on his left shoulder, which he since has discarded.
