The Warriors are done making moves, per source. Jimmy Butler is the lone deadline acquisition. They generated three extra roster spots in the 4-for-1 deal. Quinten Post, the two-way center currently starting, is expected to be elevated into one of the vacancies. – 3:00 PM

Asked Draymond Green how Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry and himself fit together: “We win. All three of us. So there’s your fit.” He also said Jimmy has a “winning f—— pedigree” and is a guy that in a lot of ways is like him with the edge and mindset he brings to games. – 1:13 AM

Disaster finish for Warriors in Utah. They blew an 11-point lead in the final three minutes and couldn’t get a look at a game-tying 3 in final 10 seconds. Drops them back to 25-25 as they travel to LA for shorthanded game at Lakers tomorrow while Jimmy Butler trade finalizes. – 11:40 PM

I hate this for the Warriors.
Maybe Jimmy Butler is a completely different player with a better attitude.
But if the move wasn’t for Durant, I would have kept Wiggins (80% Butler?) and gone for a Vucevic.
Hope I’m wrong because I love Steph and want him to win. – 9:42 PM

So looking at this return the Heat got for Jimmy Butler… I think they should’ve just taken on Bradley Beal (if he would’ve waived the NTC).
The 2031 Suns pick (when Phoenix still had it) was way more valuable than this Warriors pick. Beal is overpaid but he’s still good. – 9:36 PM

Jimmy Butler traded to Golden State in a massive four-team deal
Butler wins — he wanted to get paid and now will. This probably will not be enough to win Curry ring No. 5, but Golden State now has three dangerous veterans in Curry, Green and Butler

It’s a two-year, $112 million extension for Jimmy Butler, sources tell me and @Sam_Amick. He declined player option. So Warriors give him an extra year at $58 million to get trade across finish line and line his contract timeline up with Steph Curry’s. nytimes.com/athletic/61142… – 9:01 PM
