In my opinion, the Warriors continue to be the team rumored to be in the mix for Butler that makes the most sense. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are Hall-of-Famers who aren’t getting younger. The question is whether they can get Butler without decimating the younger transitional core they’ve assembled.

Jimmy Butler’s days with the Miami Heat seem numbered, but don’t expect the Golden State Warriors to get in the mix. Trade rumors have been lingering around Butler since the summer, but the 36-year-old made his trade request public with an incendiary press conference on Thursday.
