The Wizards’ season has been very disappointing so far but I don’t think it’s right to give up quite yet. If they trade starting small forward Caron Butler I think the Wizards will be hoisting up the White Flag and it’s way too early to do that in the Eastern Conference which is really weak. Butler has played in 27 games (all starts) this season and he is averaging 38.6 minutes, 17.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. I think it would be a mistake to trade Butler right now unless the return improves the team both now and down the road and I don’t see that happening.

The Wizards only shot 39.5% from the floor last night and they were outrebounded 56-45. But, it wasn’t until the 4th quarter when the T-Wolves outscored them 33-22 that the Wizards were doomed. Gilbert Arenas led the way for the Wizards with 26 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists on only 10 of 28 shooting from the floor. Antwan Jamison had a decent game with 20 points and 6 rebounds in this game. Randy Foye pitched in with 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists last night. The Wizards are now 10-18 on the year.
