Former Heat forward Caron Butler has been receiving serious consideration for the Heat’s TV analyst job beginning next season, according to multiple sources.
As I reported on Sept. 30, former Heat players LaPhonso Ellis and John Crotty are also serious contenders for the job.
The Heat informed TV analyst Tony Fiorentino after last season that he would not be retained in that role but that he would be given a final farewell season behind the microphone and would be given another job in the organization after this season.
That job is expected to include running the Heat’s summer basketball camp - as he has done for years - and community events.
