Its Butler's 4th team in the NBA and he's been with it half a year, has been speculated to be in a dozen different trade scenarios, is viewed by some Dallas sports writers as more of a trade chip than a player, and will be leaving next offseason anyway. He doesn't need to go out a diss the team, but if he doesn't have on Maverick-tinted sun glasses, so what? Simply a Maverick tinted bifocal will do the trick. Don't say, "Well, I think we're not very good, too old, and win 32 games this year", but if you don't believe that this team will win a championship, just shy away from that topic or answer vaguely when it comes up. Hundreds of players do that.

But this is Texas, specifically Dallas - I expect a bigger pair of cojones on my players...
(although that mincy attitude would fit nicely with all the thong-wearing fellas in Miami Beach!)
