As if the past week hasn't been rough enough for the Mavs, Tim McMahon speculates based on information from a Mavericks source that Caron Butler is likely to miss between two months and the remainder of the season due to the injury to his patellar tendon.

It's safe to say that this team needs Rodrigue Beaubois, and it likely narrows Dallas' trade options at the deadeline, since Butler's expiring contract would potentially be one of their best trade assets.
