<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Caron Butler is a far worthier player than anyone originally imagined, and his acquisition from the Lakers in exchange for Kwame Brown rises to the level of a heist. Grunfeld is inclined to downplay the characterization, if only because he and Mitch Kupchak are old friends from their days as Olympic teammates in 1976. Butler plays with a fire in his belly that sometimes prompts the statistical aberration of 20 rebounds in Game 6 against the Cavaliers. Butler is a small forward, or big guard, but mostly a player with some beast in him. Being a beast was a subplot to the trade, as Brown vowed to become just that with the Lakers.</div> Source
