I really did not know too much about him, but at that point I was ready for a change and willing to give him a shot.

I never said I didn´t know.But it sorprises me that while every body says He´s been lossing weight,he still looks like one of the Fat Boys.

Args, in case you're missing the references let me spell it out...

Butler WAS fat, Butler IS NOT anymore. He may never be "skinny", but he's much closer to being in shape than he used to be.

Besides, Butler's real test for keeping his shape will be the month or so between season's end and Summer League play...if he can manage to keep in some kind of shape there will be less work to do when he reports for Summer League workouts/practices/games.

Butler doesn't have the body type to look like Elson or Duncan...he's naturally a wide-bodied guy. At his prime weight he's probably 260lbs and I don't see him as being far from that right now. Let Butler be what he is...which is not fat, just big.

Hard to say he'll look like Nene next season (because dude is ripped), but I think he'll look alot more like Nene than Traylor....that is to say, he will trim more fat and start building muscle.

And I would go further to say that a fat Butler is probably more useful for 18-20MPG than a skinny Elson. But yeah, it would be good to see an in-shape Butler.

probably won't happen. for some reason, big-time free agents just don't like the idea of playing in S.A.
