 Caron Butler should hear today if he's being traded


Caron Butler should learn today whether he’ll be changing NBA teams.

Friday, it was reported by several media outlets that the Wizards had agreed to trade Butler, a two-time All-Star, to the Dallas Mavericks in a multi-player deal.

 Jamison headed to Miami. . .for Super Bowl

But should Wizards follow Memphis' lead and move him to Cleveland?

Antawn Jamison wasn't necessarily upset that the Wizards were unable to get out of Orlando this weekend. Sure, he would've loved to make it back to Washington and play the Atlanta Hawks at Verizon Center last night. But since the game was postponed, Jamison had a much easier commute to Miami, where he plans on watching the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl.

Gilbert Arenas's guilty plea on Friday to felony possession of a firearm has left the franchise in flux between now and his sentencing on March 26. The Washington Wizards will probably look like a completely different team, with President Ernie Grunfeld still moving forward with his plans to make some moves before the Feb. 18 trade deadline. The only problem is that Grunfeld has received terrible offers from other teams hoping to raid the coffers for a pittance. So he could hold on for a while to see how the team plays with Mike Miller back.

Back in 2007 when the Wizards played the Cavs in the first round of the playoffs and Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler were injured, Jamison was a complete warrior. The Wizards had no chance in the series and the Cavs were loading up on Jamison. But he came to play every game like it was the Finals. He averaged 32 points and 10 rebounds in that four-game sweep and single-handedly made three of the games competitive.
