Yes trading Butler was a bad trade, but I completely disagree. You have to agree they wouldve won another championship had they not traded Shaq. It wouldve been a walkover. He didnt pull the trigger per se in trading players but he got the ball rolling by getting rid of Shaq, which led to management making poor decision on trades and draft picks, so yes, he is partially to blame.
