Jimmy is old and can’t stay healthy. He’s also not that big.

[@obryn]

It's hilarious how they keep trying to surround Steph with retirees and expecting a different result. 🤣

[@86byrdman]

The thing is, Steph wants to play with other veterans at this point in his career. The Warriors have kind of made it clear the next 2 years they're going to build their team in this way as long as Steph, Draymond, Kerr, and possibly Klay, are around

[@Sy-kv6hy]

Jimmy is still at his peak

[@Raww863]

Way too old we need to go young 26-30, sure it’ll be fun to watch for a season but it’s not good long term

[@ninerempire3398]

His contract is almost expired and line’s up with curry, dray, and kerr’s contracts . You can start a proper rebuild after those guys are gone

[@bayarea8016]

They obviously don't want Klay.. which it's the right move

[@IknowThatHurtss]

Sixers getting butler

[@montraix]

Jimmy Butler does not raise the Warriors chance of winning anything, and if you think it does, then you’re still living in the past. LeBron or KD don’t make the Warriors favorites, not even contenders, and Butler does less for this team than LeBron or KD. The Warriors have no chance of winning by adding players over 32 years old. The players who dominated the last 10 years have passed their peaks

[@otisyoungblood]

So what your saying is its hopeless cause no player put them over the top

[@frstteamallcity]

Jimmy I’m not playing tonight butler 😂 ya’ll thirsty play them young boys on the team and try to draft Edey

[@86byrdman]

If Jimmy Butler comes here, Wiggins probably sure as hell won't be here. Can you imagine Butler and Wiggins being teammates again after what happened in Minnesota between Butler, Wiggins, and Towns when Butler essentially embarrassed them in a practice?

[@fried_riceee]

After Iguodala played for the Heat, he said in a report that Butler had nothing but good things to say about Wiggins and that “he really liked playing with Wiggins” So either Andre is Lying or Butler was just really mad at Kat the whole time.

[@86byrdman]

@@fried_riceee That's true, I remember that. Also when the Warriors play the Heat, Wiggins and Butler always acknowledge each other and it seems like they're both still on good terms.... True, he probably was more mad at Towns in that practice. Wiggins just happened to be there too, but I think Butler was trying to motivate them both at the time.

[@MaxPotentialGreatness]

Jimmy butler in 2023 would’ve been the one. But now going into 2025…. nope. Unless we are giving up Andrew Wiggins straight up then it’s all good. No Kuminga or anyone else.

[@akibo8379]

Yo!!! Ingram is good!!!

[@rsciero]

Too much Anthony Davis is a compliment

[@JoeRogansGutBiome]

The warriors want to see his value. They wanna see what other teams offer him.

[@ProFited87]

We don’t want butler. Get your guys stuff together on this show and put this in the trash so the warriors hear it

[@dan-jo9ms]

it's a sign and trade with klay with moody. then a move with wiggins

[@Latasha-qz1lz]

Nope

[@DaggerMan11]

Saying Jimmy Butler can "shoot the 3" tells me you don't actually watch Jimmy Butler.

[@jrmz7843]

These guys are delusional. It’s crazy

[@andylofi4448]

33% career 3pt shooter… 41% last season (career high). I think it’s fair to say he can shoot the 3.

[@DaggerMan11]

@@andylofi4448 Volume and shot profile matter. Do you watch Jimmy? He's never a threat to pull up from 3, nor do opposing defenses consider him a 3 point threat. He only ever takes 3s as a last resort. Teams will sag off him, and he'll survey his options before eventually taking the 3. Twice a game. That doesn't amount to being able to "shoot the 3." If Jimmy can shoot the 3, so can Draymond and Kuminga.

[@Newportnews98]

@@DaggerMan11if he’s on a team with Steph he’ll have space to shoot the 3

[@DaggerMan11]

@@Newportnews98 It's not that he currently doesn't have space to shoot 3s. It's that he's generally averse to taking open ones. He takes fewer than 3 a game despite defenders closing out short and playing him to drive.

[@TheZane03]

Don’t even think the warriors FO can handle Jimmy compared to the heat, where they put the foot down, imagine Kerr and Jimmy going at it like Jimmy and spo did

[@dfilipino4443]

F no he no good

[@Zackaveli]

I do not want that guy. Can’t stand him. Thinks he’s better than he is.

[@abprepboy33]

you talkin about klay or butler......? lol if klay thinks he is worth anymore than 10-12 million a year.... he thinks he is better than what he is. He settles for too many horrible shots becuse hes too lazy to work for a good shot.

[@Newportnews98]

You mean the guy that averaged 30+ in the playoffs and finals

[@DeeTruth415]

Nope

[@perryolsen1370]

Their MO has always been to get the best assistants. That's one reason Mark Jackson was fired is that he wouldn't do that.
