The Golden State Warriors being interested in acquiring an All-Star-caliber wing scorer is no surprise. The big revelation is that they're reconsidering players who were previously thought to be deal breakers — Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat and Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls.
Stephen Curry's stance has been revealed on Jimmy Butler potentially joining the Golden State Warriors from the Miami Heat.
Former Miami Heat star point guard Tim Hardaway Sr. shared his honest thoughts abiout the situation involving Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler.
Jimmy Butler is unafraid of drama, and the Miami Heat don't have time for his antics. ESPN's Shams Charania reported the Heat star will receive an indefinite suspension for allegedly skipping practice. Butler's suspension reveals why the Golden State Warriors should ditch trade talks.
As the clock ticks toward the deadline, the Warriors have floated a protected first-rounder as a sweetener in potential deals.
NBA trade rumors are heating up with the deadline just one week away. No big names have been moved yet, but the rumor mill has been flooded with tons of new intel as everyone around the league tries to improve either their short- or long-term outlook.
The Warriors have been rumored to be back in trying to acquire Jimmy Butler, but they are also looking at Zach LaVine.
My league sources confirm these hesitations, revealing that Curry himself has reservations about Butler's fit in the Warriors' locker room — a sentiment shared by head coach Steve Kerr. Their worries stem from Butler's tumultuous history with previous teams:
Unfortunately for the Miami Heat, Butler remained set on playing in another city this season and he was indefinitely suspended recently after walking out of practice. It is a situation that has gotten ugly fast. While most blame the player, Heat legend Tim Hardaway believes a lot of it falls on team president Pat Riley.
Since a 12-3 start that has proven to be a heaping haul of fool's gold, the Golden State Warriors have lost two out of every three games over the last two months with a bottom-five offense and bottom-10 defense.
The Miami Heat haven't made a decision about a Jimmy Butler trade, but that doesn't mean you can't. Here's what you should know and how to get the most value for your situation.
