Doubly sucks. Now other teams will see us desperate to replace Butler will ask the world for what they got. Also, most teams moving for a contract like Butler is looking to cut losses, which means a long term deal coming our way. It's another thing management has to look at in consideration of the new CBA and rumors of a hard cap.
My hunch is that we'll get a backup 4 for Dirk, Marion full time at the 3 with Deshawn/Jones and eventually Boobs will pull some Butler time.
