Jimmy Butler’s fire A ‘perfect fit’ to Warriors, Draymond Green States – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Draymond Green believes that Jimmy Butler will go seamlessly with the Warriors.

In conversation with the media after the defeat of Golden State against the 120-112 defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, Green was asked how he joined the Warriors via Butler.

“I’m happy to get Jimmy here,” said Green to reporters. “We know who Jimmy is and what he is capable of and we need that. We need this kind of fire. In any case, I am looking forward to bringing his hardness, his leadership, his capacity (his ability to get to the free sausage line), defense, only to bring everything he brings. I think it will fit perfectly. “

Butler’s blockbuster trade ended an angry trading period in which many superstar players were moved to different teams.

The 35-year-old relationship with Miami Heat had worsened to the point where he applied for a trade at the beginning of this season. Finally, the Warriors could manage to exchange Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and a protected draft of the first round against Miami and Dennis Schroder and Lindy Waters III to the Detroit Pistons to complete the three-team deal.

Since Butler signs a new contract extension with the Warriors, it is expected to be the second number of points behind Steph Curry for at least the next two seasons.

As a six-time NBA All-Star, known for his post-season exploitation as a “playoff Jimmy”, he led the heat to the NBA final twice in his five years in Miami and made it three times to the Eastern Conference.

Nevertheless, there is a risk of bringing a moody player like Butler to Golden State, but given the team’s recent fights, something had to change.

Green, Curry and the rest of the warriors know what Butler brings, in particular the ability to make clutch shots at the end of games in high -pressure situations.

All concerns of how Butler fits Golden State were put aside for the time being, as long as the team begins to find paths to win again.
