Yeah they'll probably get rid of him but it's not like he's been a bad character or anything. He had a bad season last year so since he didn't really contribute, that just makes it easier for people to say "get rid of him". If he had even a decent season people wouldn't be so quick to say get rid of a guy. They'll probably get rid of him though. That also makes me wonder if Birdman will have a spot on the roster.

we'll get butler for scalabrine the "energy guy"

[Squire]

good reason to get rid of him. But what team would want him?

Charges against Butler may be dropped. Let's just hope that if he remains a Hornet this season we'll get some basketball court contribution from him. He had a bad season last year. He was in a shooting slump and Scott pulled him out of rotation.


Hornets forward Rasual Butler can avoid prosecution for felony weapons charges in Dade County, Fla., if he successfully completes four pre-trial conditions arranged by his attorneys and the district attorney's office in Miami.

Butler was arrested June 23 by Miami Beach police for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

On Thursday, the Miami office of the state attorney pushed back a scheduled arraignment for 60 days, allowing Butler to complete four pre-trial conditions that could result in the case being dropped.
