The REAL Reason The Warriors TRADED For Jimmy Butler!!

The REAL Reason Why NOBODY Wants Jimmy Butler as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Jimmy Butler trade market souring as we approach the NBA Trade Deadline, where desperate teams like the Golden State Warrior, Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks have all seemingly moved on from trade talks with the Miami Heat for their disgruntled superstar. The GA Crew breaks down why Jimmy's actions have left him stuck with the Miami Heat and speculate on what the future looks like if Butler does not get moved.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

[@ApoloWilliams]

Yes he was 🗑 as a player but good on show

[@eyoung8202]

He was Loyal to Chicago, they were disloyal to him. Chicago told him they weren’t going to trade him and then they traded him. He didn’t want to leave Chicago, he led them in Offense & Defense; They still traded him. They said it was his attitude but he just wanted to win. The Bulls front office have their own ego. That started his Villain Arc, his Loyalty was destroyed by the Chicago Bulls.

[@Wellokthen]

​@AnDr3w066 still not sure why people keep saying this. He looks fine, played over 40 mpg the entire playoffs last season including the finals, averaged over 33 ppg, you don't do that if you're not taking care of yourself. You wanna see someone not taking care of themselves? Look at Zion. Now if you wanna compare them two, I got nothing left to say to you 💀

[@AnDr3w066]

@ he looks fine because he is young and talented. That doesn’t work as well when you get older. You want an example look at harden and how bad he aged in the game. Longevity matters when you are in a spot to give the person a supermax and has done nothing to fix the issue. Learn to look ahead

[@thebrilliancyofreality4408]

[@ImSwiftLy]

The reason why they were concerned about trading for Jimmy is because as long as they have Steph they want to try and compete lol why do you think the Warriors were scrambling to try and get ANY STAR. Jimmy, KD, they were calling for any and everyone to get Steph help. $53 million in hard cash is nice but it means absolutely nothing if they can't use it to get another star in Golden State with Steph. As long as they have Curry they're not rebuilding.
