The Warriors are looking for a dependable backup to Baron Davis at the point and Payton, an Oakland native, would fill that role. "(Oakland) is my home," Payton said, "so I'm looking at it. We've talked back and forth a little bit. They're doing what they have to do, and I'm doing what I have to do. I have a some things to think about, and so do they."

The 38-year old will open the season as the Heat's starting point guard, with Jason Williams on the sidelines. In a starting role, he's capable of averaging double-digit points with a handful of assists and a steal per game. He's worth consideration if available late in fantasy drafts, but consider dealing him once Williams returns within the first month of the season.
