The Sacramento Kings have pledged to veteran forward Caron Butler that they will trade him to find him a team where he can have a larger role, league sources said Wednesday.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Kings plan to move Butler shortly after Christmas, with the 35-year-old finding minutes hard to come by in the Kings' frontcourt.
