Former Nets forward Josh Boone is hoping to make a return to the NBA.

The center is playing in China this season.

Boone met with the Cavaliers in the offseason and had a few other teams invite him to training camp, but none offered him a guaranteed contract.

"It should be short term," Boone said of his stint in China.

"I know, as do a lot of others, that I am an NBA-level player. But unfortunately some decision-makers didn't view me as being worth anything. I'll have to see what happens with the lockout next year. But I'd like to come back."
