The Golden State Warriors have been so successful since the Jimmy Butler trade that it’s easy to forget the initial slate of rumors around the potential deal brought out more concern than excitement,

Before the Miami Heat finally made the move to trade Jimmy Butler, the six-time All-Star decided he wanted out because he felt his value wasn't being appreciated. Per Andscape's Marc J. Spears, Butler's desire to be dealt stemmed from a feeling that the Heat "were moving in a direction without him in mind and he wanted to be more valued" at this point in his career.

Jimmy Butler’s arrival has brought a new energy to the Warriors. His defense, leadership, and clutch mentality are exactly what the team needed to regain their edge. Fans and analysts alike are starting to believe Golden State could make another deep run with Jimmy in the mix.

Jimmy Butler explained he no longer felt "wanted" by the Miami Heat, which led to his trade to the Golden State Warriors.
