For Butler, it's not even a case of the talent...Butler is the better player anyways. That's what the point was with him, and that made it very unlikely that he was available for Howard.
Wallace is perceived as a lateral move, but I think he brings more intangibles that make him better than Josh. So the perception is there, but I think it's an upgrade even more than the + by - aspect of it.
