An NBA scout says teams badly want to avoid "honeymoon-phase" Jimmy Butler and the streaking Golden State Warriors.
Stay informed on the Warriors as Steve Kerr discusses the recovery journey of Jonathan Kuminga from his ankle injury.
Golden State has won 10 of their last 12 games with Butler and besides the former Miami Heat star thriving, Curry has been stellar as in the 121-119 win over the Brooklyn Nets, he scored 40 points. Green would say via The Athletic that Curry “was right” that the team before couldn't come back, but with Butler, they are a different team.
Butler has given Curry a bona fide co-star and balanced out the Warriors' roster amid their playoff push. Per Kerr, Curry is grateful for a better chance to compete in the crowded Western Conference.
