Ross Siler: The Butler Did It
There's a nice story in Saturday's Washington Post about former Laker Caron Butler, who has found a home in DC and made a name for himself this season. The Wizards open the playoffs today against Cleveland.
I always liked Caron and thought the Lakers might have been best served holding onto him until the trade deadline. He also was as close to Kobe as any player in my two seasons on the beat. But I understood the Lakers' reasons for taking a chance on Kwame Brown.
I'll take credit for putting Caron in my top three for Most Improved Player. What can you say about the Wizards being 33-21 with Caron as a starter?
