Analysis:

Williams will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and Caron Butler has one more year on his contract at $4.5 million, but there has been some speculation that Butler might retire this offseason. This trade was likely just a salary dump for the Bucks, and there's a chance Butler and Williams will never play for Milwaukee next season. Through 19 games, Williams averaged 2.6 points, 0.2 three-pointers, and 1.4 rebounds in nine minutes per game with the Pistons this season. He's been popping in and out of the league the last few seasons, and it's hard to imagine a situation where Williams would be a consistent fantasy option next season.
