If Allan Houston is serious about his comeback to the NBA, it's a fargone conclusion that he'll be welcomed back with open arms. This is because, at the height of his powers, Allan Houston had one of the prettiest jumpshots to ever grace an NBA court. And as the old saying goes, you can never have enough shooters on your team.

Reportedly, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks would each like to add Houston to their respective rosters.

Team sources said the Cavs have interest in former New York Knicks star Allan Houston...Various media outlets have reported that the Dallas Mavericks also have shown interest in Houston.

For what it's worth, the Cavs need a shooter of Houston's caliber more than the Mavs do. Whereas Dallas needs to find slashers and guys who can defend quick guards and forwards (as the humiliating Golden State series proved), Cleveland is desperate to find shooters to surround LeBron James with.

The Cavs are a rebounding, defensive-minded team with one otherworldly offensive talent; get him a lights-out shooter, and there's no reason why they can't contend for a title again next season.
