Ive always been a fan of Rasual Butler and Im happy to see im go to LA and show Hollywood that sweet stroke and swag, also I believe MoPete will make a minor 'comeback' this season... Oh yeah Im a Laker fan and we just won the Title off of back to back Finals, its ridiculous for fellow fans to want every superstar on our team, i love D-fish(leadership) and the ShanWow/Jordan Tandem as our PG rotation. Chris Paul isnt going anywhere soon. exactly right on both points made, tick tock.

Boom. That's why. Peterson was the 5th best starter on the team in 07-08 while Butler was utterly terrible, lost his shot completely, and spent the second half of the year in street clothes. Then they switched place in 08-09 when Peterson got injured and Butler took his spot. Butler was an ironman-- I believe the only guy on the team not to get hurt all year-- but... the fact remains that he's still the 5th best starter. And he and Mo Pete are the same guy. I guaranteed before the summer that one of the two would be moved. They're utterly redundant on the roster. And it was more likely to be Sual than Mo because he actually played this year and his value is high enough to be moved. Then the Hornets drafted a 2 (Thornton) and a 1/2 (Collison-- yes, he's a PG but they've always liked to play another PG with CP sometimes for a different look). Bottom line, I'm the biggest Hornets fan there is, and I'm neither bothered (except that I really respect Rasual Butler for his resurgent year and hope he does well) nor surprised by this. Oh, and I wish everyone would STFU about stars in large markets. It's bad for the league. If you thought about it for more than 3 seconds, economically speaking, you'd realize that.
