Joining the five starters that were revealed last week, the Eastern Conference will feature Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billups, Caron Butler, Jermaine O'Neal and Richard Hamilton. The 14 players selected -- seven each from the Eastern and Western Conferences -- were chosen by the 30 NBA head coaches, who were asked to vote for seven players in their respective conferences -- two guards, two forwards, one center and two players regardless of position. They were not permitted to vote for players from their own team.</div> Source Hell yes! Congrats to Caron, for all those who said he'd be nothing more than a role player...eat some crow.
Honestly though, I think it benefited both teams. Caron Butler or Lamar Odom had to go. Personally, I would've preferred to keep Caron. I've always loved his game and Kobe and him just hit it off, especially towards the end of the season. I can see why they kept Odom, also. I don't think Laker fans are too upset by the deal. But if you're wondering, I know that Caron is light years ahead of Kwame.
I`m happy for Caron. Like Mamba said, he`s one of the great role players on the Wizards that has made them successful.
