In all honesty, Butler wasn't playing that well for them in the first place. I'm sure they'll look to add a wing at some point, but my guess is that if they pursue anyone it will be Stephen Jackson, who Rick Carlisle supposedly loved when they were in Indiana together. @Kaneda:

Prince and maybe one more piece for Butler and Beaubois?! Wouldn’t it be a good idea to try and trade with Dallas now that they are looking to pick a SF to replace Butler?

But my point remains being responsible didn't really do him any good either. Also the worst stetches of the game were the end of the second and the first six minutes of the third, when in fact McGrady was in (but laboring in no small part to the fact that he had worked his tail off for three straight halves on back to back nights). McGrady is not entirely to blame. Charlie and Gordon jacking up bad outside shots were also a big factor. He did that once and got a quick hook.

Check the mintes stuckey is on and off you will see that the lakers lead went up once stuckey was on the floor instead of mcgrady.   You cant put a square peg in a round hole. Stuckey puts his head down on almost everytime he brings the ball and goes full bore towards the basket.  What about when an out of control stuckey runs into a lakers for an charge.

Last minute of the first quarter, Stuckey in for McGrady. Stuckey penetrates and kicks ball to wide wide open Hamilton for the three. Shot bricked. Last shot of quarter. Stuckey holds ball for last shot (as per bench order), penetrates and draws triple team. Passes ball around defender to Maxiel. Maxiel tries to catch ball with one hand. Ball hits floor, 24 second clock expires as Maxiel never really corrals ball. Game story, McGrady loses wind, legs in last two minutes of first half. Pistons never recover from that. Season story, trade prospects evaporating with good (first half) but lost (second half) performances. Stuckey’s season in a microcosm. Last minute of the first quarter, Stuckey in for McGrady.

A combined 34 points on 13-of-17 shooting by the Lakers’ starting frontcourt compared to 6 points on 3-of-9 shooting from the Wallace/Villanueva combo was really the story.
