Now, with Jones looking like a better player and Miller maybe even being healthy, I'd be shocked to see them add another 2 or 3 for as much as the full MLE.
They desperately need a 1 or a 5 and I'd guess they'll address that situation with their MLE. Caron would have to be available on the cheap to make sense for them. Not that I necessarily expect them to be senseful.
A Heat team with Caron and still no decent center or point guard wouldn't scare me too much.

Agreed. He's not the only option for us to get better, although I'd consider him the most likely option with the biggest upside. I don't see how Corey, Rudy or Ian could have as much of an impact as Caron and Roddy's not even healthy yet. Plus, Caron would allow Dirk and Marion to get extended time on the bench to rest their old bones which could be a huge plus in a short season with many games.
