Even if some Wolves fans already are dating again on the rebound

snapshots or trash his love letters. "I think the emotional side of the
trade and the team is in his rear-view mirror. But I don’t think

fans there are anything he wants to forget.

The team then embarked on a 3 1/2 -hour bus ride to get to their hotel, eventually losing the game, 98-94.
"That was the worst trip ever," said Butler, who was forced to miss the
