Rasual Butler played 10 NBA seasons for five different teams, but couldn’t catch on with anyone last year.
Instead of taking his more than $20 million in gross career earnings and drifting into retirement, Butler worked on getting better in the D-League, and averaged 17.8 points in 31 games for Tulsa.
He continued that comeback effort with the Pacers at the Orlando Summer League, and Indiana liked what they saw enough to offer Butler a non-guaranteed contract for the upcoming season.
From Shams Charania of RealGM:
Free agent forward Rasual Butler has reached agreement on a non-guaranteed contract with the Indiana Pacers, agent Joel Bell told RealGM.Despite the deal being non-guaranteed, Butler is expected to receive a shot to battle for his standing in training camp and preseason.

Butler played all 82 games in both 2009 with the Hornets and 2010 with the Clippers.
The Pacers have just 12 players with guaranteed contracts in place for next season, and considering their aspirations of playing deep into the postseason, you can expect them to want to add some capable depth to the roster.
Butler will have his opportunity, and it sounds like he’s well on his way to making the most of it.
防守不錯,但是進攻招式太單一,侷限於三分球.儘管防守OK,可是沒達到大鎖的程度.
不過,以他在選秀第二輪(2002年)被選來看,他打得夠久,也算稱職了.
希望他能再溜馬得開賽名單中.
打假先發或是短時間替補其實挺ok的
這種類型的球員很多,替換率也很高
能夠穩定打好幾年的,才會是比較值錢的
目前二三號已經人滿為患了
會進入主要輪替有 P. George, Stephenson, Granger 和 Copeland
第三順位有保障約的還有 O. Johnson 和新人 S. Hill
他應該只是訓練營陪練的?
