This summer, the Golden State Warriors have been searching for an All-Star to complement Stephen Curry, especially after Klay Thompson joined the Dallas Mavericks. Their attempts to acquire Paul George and Lauri Markkanen were unsuccessful.
Now, the Warriors are eyeing Jimmy Butler, who has two years remaining on his $146 million contract with a player option for the final year. Butler’s potential free agency next summer has drawn the Warriors’ interest.
Butler, an All-Star with a strong perimeter shooting record, would fit well with the Warriors’ style of play. Whether he would agree to join Golden State as a secondary option next to Curry is uncertain, but it could benefit his career longevity.
With Butler potentially leaving Miami for nothing after the season, the Heat might be open to trade offers from the Warriors, who could offer young talent and future draft picks. A lot needs to align for Butler to end up with Golden State, but if it happens, he could be the key addition to help the Warriors compete for another championship.
