Rasual Butler is off to the Hornets in what has already been a very active week in the NBA. Now all you folks in fantasy leagues definitely remember the contributions Butler seemed to be making for an opponent in your league. After the all-star break he averaged 13.6 points, 1.9 treys, 0.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. Not bad from a late second round pick in a 2002 draft that didn't produce many stars outside of Yao Ming, Amare Stoudemire, Caron Butler, and Carlos Boozer.
Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said “We believe he is another piece who will help us get back to being a competitive playoff team"... OK, well lets not go crazy here. Remember, these are the clippers we're talking about. But if last year is any indication, Butler should at least get a chance to get some minutes with the Clippers while Baron Davis tends to whatever happens to be his injury-of-the-day.
So to summarize -
Fantasy fans, Rasual is a late-round worthy pick in deep leagues.
Hornets fans, Congrats on shedding some salary without a heavy loss.
Clippers fans: For real? The Lakers play in the same god damn city and you're sitting there wetting yourself thinking about 12 points a game from Rasual Butler? Only one word can describe your current state: SAD.
