Butler=Stackhouse

I just don't think he is a good fit for this team. At least not at the 2. As a backup 3 I would be fine with. This team seems too stagnant with Butler out there. He is not a playmaker. Kidd is asked to do too much of the playmaking.

Josh Howard wasn't such a playmaker either IIRC. The irony is Caron Butler was regarded as highly as one savior following the trade, when all you Mavs fans broke your chairs celebrating such an event that was believed to be able to escalate the Mavs to the horizon the Lakers stook at, but now you convices finally learned the truth as the fog dispersed.

"I don't know if anybody knows, but he was sick, so he hadn't eaten for two or three days. I mean, he had a stomach virus, same thing I had in Portland, I mean it went through the team, J.J. [Barea] had it," Terry said. "So, I think he's eaten in the last couple of days. He should be back at full strength tonight. It took me four days to get rid of that thing. You don't have any energy. It's tough."

Terry had the bug in Portland and Butler missed Wednesday morning's shootaround prior to facing Memphis that night. Butler played and had 11 points and 13 rebounds in 27 minutes.

"He knows what he has to do for this team," Terry said. "Like I said, he's been sick, so that's a good excuse for him."

All of those minutes could've gone to Beaubois as a SG. What a waste those last 2 games.
