Kings promise Caron Butler he will be traded

Sacramento Kings small forward Caron Butler has been promised by the organization that he will be traded to a team where he can get more playing time, according to reports.

What It Means:

Butler will turn 36-years-old in March, so we aren't sure how many minutes he can actually play at this point in his career, but he wants more of an opportunity than the healthy scratches he's been receiving. The Milwaukee Bucks have reportedly emerged as frontrunners, but we don't know how much different his role would be with them. Regardless of where he lands, it won't rescue him from fantasy irrelevance.

Butler has only appeared in eight games this season and none since December 3. He's averaging 2.5 points and 1.1 rebounds in 10.0 minutes of action per game. This is easily the least productive season of his 13-year career.
