Caron Butler Knows a Winning Season Helps Summer Options

Filed under: , ,

Caron ButlerORLANDO, Fla. -- Dallas small forward Caron Butler sounded like he would be going to the pet store to pick out a puppy when he started talking Wednesday night about his upcoming free agency.

"I could have the opportunity to take the pick of the litter,'' Butler told FanHouse before his Mavericks lost to the Magic. "If everything goes well this season, it will be my choice, take your pick, wherever I want to go.''

Butler, 30, may be coming off his worst season in years, split between Washington and Dallas, but he is expecting a quick turnaround in his contract year.

Even with limited minutes of the exhibition schedule, he has reached double figure scoring and had at least five rebounds in four of his last five games.

He showed up for training camp about 10 pounds lighter than a year ago after coach Rick Carlisle told him what he wanted this season during his exit interview last spring. He wanted Butler more explosive, quicker, able to reach the free throw line more often. Butler responded by working harder than he ever had before in the offseason.
