The dust has settled on the trade of the NBA teams, and although the Warriors did not get Durant, they also got a real All-Star Butler. And Butler's resume in the playoffs is outstanding. He's one of those players who gets better in key games. Although he is now 35 years old, Butler is a very disciplined player and trains very hard, so he does technically have a few years to go before he is at his peak.
The Warriors paid a big price to get Butler, they sent away Wiggins, Lee Kyle, Waters and other players, including Schroder, who just joined the Warriors some time ago, was also sent away, so the Warriors may have to rearrange the starting lineup in the future. If nothing else, the Warriors will next have a starting lineup of Curry, Podzemski, Butler, Green and Post. The key to the Warriors' next win is whether they can maintain the game until the last moments, and if the Warriors play very well in the first three quarters, the game can drag on to the critical moment, and the difference between having Butler and not Butler is very big.
The Warriors head coach recently spoke of Butler with a very heartfelt remark. He admitted that in the last game against the Jazz, the Warriors dropped consecutive points in the final minute and were reversed by the Jazz. Kerr bluntly said that if Butler had been on the court at the time, maybe the Warriors would not have been reversed. In fact, this is very reasonable, because everyone knows that the Jazz's defensive strategy at the last moment is to pinch Curry, and when Curry is the second point and has no stable scoring ability, the opponent's defensive strategy will work.
So next, in Kerr's coaching philosophy, Butler is the second point to solve the problem after the opponent sandwiches Curry at the last critical moment. As long as the opponent dares to pinch Curry, Butler's single will make the opponent pay.
Also, we hope that some of Butler's passion for basketball and hard work will influence the rest of the Warriors when he joins the Warriors. For example, we're looking forward to a significant improvement by Kuminga and Moody, two players who are technically the cornerstones of the Warriors' future. That's why the Warriors weren't willing to give both of them when it came to this big deal. So we're expecting Butler's arrival to bring some changes to the Warriors.
