Gilbert updated his blog today, naturally the first topic of conversation was the Wizards’ big win over the Celtics thanks to a great performance from Caron Butler:

This whole time I’ve been out, I’ve never seen him want to take over a game. Last night he showed it. He put the boys on his back. Him and Paul Pierce were playing great defense on each other, battling back and forth all night. He just said, “Hey, we’re going to win this game in Boston tonight.” You saw the heart and the fire. I told him that’s that mindset you need every night, even when I’m playing. That will be two guys with the same mindset going out there doing it. That’s hard to stop.

Man, UCANN did it. I went over the game again today, and that man played his butt off. Caron Butler ain’t getting credit for what he’s doing. He’s never gotten credit for what he’s done for us. He’s been in the shadows a little bit of me and Antawn, but it’s the Big Three. There’s no order of priority. He’s just as important as the two of us are to the organization and he’s showing it right now how smart of a move it was bringing him aboard for Kwame Brown. He’s given us more than we expected from him, a lot more.

He also talked about his contract situation:

I want to get a six-year deal. I want to be a max player. If my team decides that they don’t want me here any more and they’re going to go in a different direction, then I got to look elsewhere. For me to look elsewhere, I want to go find a championship team who’s a championship contender. I’m going to have to take less money, but I’m willing to do that to win a ring. If my team doesn’t want me, then I’m going to another team and I’m going to take less money to go there.
