"New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn has been notorious throughout the years as one who likes saving money more than they like winning games.

Whether he deserves this inauspicious distinction or not is debatable, but there is no denying the motivation of Wednesday’s trade of starting shooting guard Rasual Butler to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for a conditional second round pick.

To save money."
