The Warriors could move on from players they likely don’t want to trade, or from assets they don’t want to trade, to get better, but something has to give to improve.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe one guy who could be impacted by that is Jimmy Butler, though, given his age and coming off an ACL injury, it’s tough to see a scenario in which teams are that interested in Butler. According to a recent report, not many teams are interested in Butler.“Jimmy Butler, Warriors. (Remaining contract: one year, $57 million.) Butler continues to be the subject od trade rumors, but it does not appear that the Warriors will look to move him. He’s the team’s main path to adding another star, as he is probably out until Christmas or later as he recovers from January ACL surgery.“There are not many teams looking to add a rehabbing 36-year-old to their mix, and the Warriors are not likely to find a player who is better than Butler when healthy,” Sean Deveney wrote.Butler could be used as a salary-dump player who gets moved in a deal for a player the Warriors want, if the Warriors attach other assets.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, as Deveney touched on here, there won’t be a long line outside waiting for Butler to become available.Warriors likely won’t land Anthony Davis because of strange Wizards reasonLakers two young players named as potential trade pieces on Jonathan KumingaSpurs trade idea brings in Bronny JamesDraymond Green could actually leave Golden State for LeBron James reasonJames Harden expected to have impact on getting LeBron James to Cavaliers
