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.
