Caron is a fine player. A very good one. I loved him when he was a Laker - and he loved being a Laker. But we had to trade him. We weren't going to blow the 2007 plan for Caron Butler. That plan is to acquire a Max Caliber FA so that we add a true star next to Kobe, with Lamar running the team, rebounding the ball and setting them up in addition to adding some 3rd option scoring. That puts us in contention if it's the right player. Caron does not offer us that - we already tried that last year, remember? We were in the lottery.
We were never going to spend a fortune to re-sign Caron and he deserved to go somewhere that would offer him that. Doesn't mean we have to insult or minimize him. He was and is a good player who just didn't have a future on this team. |

| I've excepted the idea of an actual plan regarding Caron. we really couldnt afford to pay him waht he was worth (market value) not actual reality value. plus Kwame as an experiment: either he works out as a player or his high expiring contract is a very desirable situation for some team. we win in either case. I can except managements thinking on this one! |
