Butler went to the Warriors, and it was Wiggins who got hurt

After Durant made it clear that he didn't want to renew his relationship with the Warriors, the Warriors' firepower was focused on trading to Butler, although Butler also made it clear that he didn't want to renew his contract with the Warriors, but the Warriors finally convinced Butler, so the trade happened. This is a big deal that ultimately involves five parties:


Warriors get: Butler

The Heat get: Wiggins, PJ Tucker, a Warriors in the first round of 2025 top-10 protection

The Pistons get: Warriors' Waters, Heat's Richardson

Jazz gets: Schroeder

Raptors get: Lee Kyle



The Pistons, Jazz and Raptors all use space to eat players, and there is no actual effort, which belongs to the soup, and the main body of the trade is still the Warriors and the Heat. The Warriors traded Wiggins, Schroder, Lee Kyle and the 2025 top-10 first-round pick for Butler.


Butler also turned down the player option for next season and agreed a two-year, $121 million contract extension with the Warriors. This should have been negotiated between the Warriors and Butler before the trade, Butler got a contract extension with a maximum salary, and probably he also figured out the current situation that it is not realistic for him to get a long-term contract with a maximum salary.



And the Warriors finally got the Curry helper they had in mind, and after Doncic was unexpectedly traded to the Lakers, the Warriors called all teams like crazy in the past two days to ask for the price of star players, and finally could only set their sights on Butler. Because Butler is the only star player who has been sold on the surface, of course Beal doesn't count.


Is Butler a good fit for the Warriors? I think it's suitable. Butler can play without the ball, and Butler is no stranger to the air-cut system, and he is more efficient without the ball than with the ball. As he gets older, less ball-handling is where Butler is headed.



Butler also has a lot of points that are not suitable for the Warriors, compared to Wiggins, Butler will be 37 years old after 36 years old next year, and he will have an annual salary of 60 million. His form is bound to slip, and he hasn't been a good three-point shooter throughout his career.


Butler's contract will become a heavy burden for the Warriors as soon as next year, and of course, the burden on the Warriors will naturally become a burden on Curry. The Warriors probably counted it, and 27 is the point in time when Curry, Dream and Butler's contracts expire together, and it is a good day to completely tear down the rebuild.



When Butler completely ripped his face and asked for a trade with the Heat, he was not destined to get the ending that a Heat hero deserved. And the way the Heat frequently suspends Butler has turned this incident into a farce. The Heat's exploits shouldn't be treated that way, and neither should the Warriors' championship exploits.


In this deal, the saddest thing should be Wiggins. Schroder didn't play a few games with the Warriors, and Lee Kyle stayed with the Warriors for half a season. But for Wiggins, the Golden State has been where he's lived for five years.



On February 7, 2020, the Timberwolves sent Wiggins to the Warriors. Exactly five years later, Wiggins was sent to the Heat by the Warriors. Five years is enough time for Wiggins to treat the Golden State as another family of his own.


Especially during the period between Wiggins's father's serious illness and his death, Wiggins left the team many times, and the Warriors gave him the greatest tolerance. No matter how much public opinion there was about Wiggins' departure, the Warriors helped him suppress it. Wiggins has played his best regular season performance since coming to the Warriors.


But who would have thought that Wiggins' performance would become a bargaining chip for the Warriors to trade Butler. The better Wiggins played, the more reluctant Warriors fans became. It can also be seen from the rhetoric of Warriors fans after the trade.



In the 22 years of winning the championship, Wiggins has made great contributions. Without his rebounds and his defense of the arrows, no matter how good Curry was that year, the Warriors would not be able to return to the top again.


After winning the championship, Wiggins even took a pay cut for Poole's contract extension. Now it seems that these reduced salaries have also become his bargaining chips. Wiggins' salary for the next two years will only add up to 60 million, while Butler will have that much money in a year.



The Warriors' trade for Butler is undoubtedly a big gamble, and the first thing to be sacrificed in this gamble is Wiggins, which is the most embarrassing part of this deal.
