If He Leaves Wizards, Butler Wants to Leave In Style

Filed under: Magic, Wizards

ORLANDO -- Caron Butler sure sounded like a guy who was saying goodbye to the Washington Wizards Friday night, accepting the realization that a trade was coming soon.

He just made it a little tougher to let him go.

In his best performance of the season, Butler scored 29 points in the second half, including the game-winning basket with 0.5 remaining to beat the division-leading Orlando Magic, 92-91, Friday.

It was like he just nailed an audition. There certainly were a lot of teams watching him.

"Washington is home. I had a great time here. And I'll always love the city, but this is a business and I know anything is possible,'' Butler said after the game when asked about possibly being traded. "I had more success here than I ever had before. I feel like the city adopted me. But you have to take the bitter with the sweet. I'll try and have some magnificent moments before the deadline.''
