Butler trade looking one-sided

The interesting thing about the trade that sent Kwame Brown to the Los
Angeles Lakers in exchange for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins is that
while
Brown claimed that he was ready to be a "beast" this season, it is Butler
who is playing like one.

Brown is averaging 6.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 27.3 minutes per game for
the Lakers, numbers that are below his averages during four seasons with
the
Wizards (7.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg). Butler, a starter in his first three seasons
with the Miami Heat and Lakers, is averaging 17.8 points and 5.5 rebounds
per game while shooting 47.9 percent as the Wizards' sixth man.

Butler, who missed two games with a left thigh injury, also has shown a
knack for getting to the free throw line, where he's made 25 of 29
attempts.
