Racine Native Butler joins the Mavericks

Good for him, honestly. He's a good, not great, player, and should help the Mavericks become a better team than they would have been with Josh Howard. Brenden Haywood might be the better part of this deal though. Nice guy who is willing to do the dirty work, who should benefit with having a real point guard for a change. The Wizards didn't get much at all, I feel like they could have gotten significantly more even if they managed to get rid of that bum DeShawn Stevenson, perhaps they are simply getting rid of anyone they can. But more importantly, the first domino fell relatively early. Should the Bucks inquire about Jamison even though his contract is a complete albatross.
