Before the NBA trade deadline this year, the Warriors repeatedly reported that they hoped to strengthen the roster through trades due to poor records, and the American media reported on the 25th that Warriors veteran D. Green had made a request to the team's management before the trade deadline.

Warriors veteran D. Green

According to The Athletic's Thompson and Amick, before Butler joined, D. Green had made a request to management that he believed was very important to the team: "Find another 'bastard' like me to join the Warriors, a player who can tell the truth in key moments like me, is full of firepower, and has a strong sense of competition on both offensive and defensive ends." “

After D. Green called out to management, the Warriors finally brought in star forward Butler from the Heat, and most of the outside world thought that he was very much in line with the "jerk" standard mentioned by D. Green, not only playing well on both offensive and defensive ends, but also daring to tell the truth on the team.

Butler averaged 20 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the six games he joined the Warriors, helping the Warriors to a 5-1 record, including a 126-102 home win over the Mavericks on Sunday to win their first three-game winning streak since mid-November.
