Why This Trade Would Benefit The Golden State Warriors
When looking at the current make up of this Warriors team, it is something that we are not used to seeing. Aside from Steph Curry, there is no real threat from outside and one of their top players has been a big man.
With Klay Thompson sidelined for the entirety of the 2020-21 season, the Warriors could benefit from making a blockbuster deal at the NBA trade deadline for an upper-tier wing player. Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat would certainly be an intriguing possibility.
Jimmy Butler would be the perfect fit alongside a sharpshooter like Steph Curry. He showed that he is a big-game player during the playoffs last year and this is something that could come in handy for a team that is looking to compete in the postseason.
The Warriors are a championship franchise and want to get back to that as soon as possible. Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr. are their biggest trade pieces right now because of the strange fit within the lineup, regardless of any recent scoring outbursts.
If the Warriors can land an elite player like Jimmy Butler, it would be a huge win for the team. To part ways with some draft enough not to matter too much.
