Why the hell is Butler's name even mentioned in this thread?
What the hell has he done to be a keeper? He's our 12th man,
and has played *6* whole minutes, for god's sake!

As for KT, I still don't get all the flak he gets. He's been
one consistent guy who doesn't make a gazillion dollars,
not a prima donna, and someone we've depended on. If we can
upgrade, by all means, but why all the hate? Its not like
he's a consistent underperformer, crybaby, big mouth, like TT.

I mentioned Butler because a player that I think we wouldn't get equal value for. Based on his build and how he dominated the CBA at age 19, I think he could become a nice role player at least in this league. However, I don't think we'll get a nice role player in return for him in a trade. I don't think any team would even give up a 2nd round draft pick for him. They would have just signed him for the league min a few months ago and kept their 2nd rd pick instead. That's why he's one of the guys who I included. It's simply a matter of whether there are any circumstances I can imagine where we could get equal or decent value in return.

good post. I get the feeling the people who are saying "how can we include Butler's name" are the people who missed all 6 of this total minutes
