There has been considerable Internet chatter the last two weeks that Caron Butler's days with the Washington Wizards are numbered.
There have even been rumors Butler, the former Park High School star, could be headed to the Milwaukee Bucks. That would indeed be a great move for the Bucks, who desperately need a prime-time small forward. What's more, Butler has said in the past he wouldn't mind playing in Milwaukee and being closer to his family and friends.
But don't look for Butler to be dealt anytime soon. I'm hearing Butler, a two-time NBA all-star, figures prominently in the Wizards' plans and could be with the team for years to come.
— Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal-Times in Wisconsin. This strikes me as posturing, but who knows. Even if Butler isn't traded this year, he does only have one more year left on his contract.
