When it was rumored earlier in the season that Jimmy Butler wanted a trade, the Golden State Warriors were one of his preferred destinations. Though the Warriors may have had mutual interest, it was unlikely that they would trade for Butler, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.

"My league sources confirm these hesitations, revealing Curry himself has reservations about Butler's fit in the Warriors' locker room — a sentiment shared by head coach Steve Kerr," O'Connor wrote. "Their worries stem from Butler's tumultuous history with previous teams."
