Jimmy Butler Believes Warriors Are The Best Team He’s Ever Been On

The Golden State Warriors have been in a slow decaying process over the last couple of years, but the arrival of Jimmy Butler has apparently infused them with some new life.

They have won five of six games with Butler in uniform, and the six-time All-Star seems to be taking quite a bit of pressure off of Stephen Curry, who has looked like his old self lately.

Butler went to the NBA Finals twice with the Miami Heat, who sent him to Golden State earlier this month, but according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Butler believes this Golden State team is the best he’s ever played on, per Smiley.

Just under three years ago, the Warriors won their fourth NBA championship of the Curry era, but each season since, they have taken step after step toward the league’s underground.

They were under .500 when Butler made his debut, but they now hold a 30-27 record and are currently in ninth place in the Western Conference.

If they reach the play-in tournament, no one will want to face them there, or even in the playoffs, should they qualify for the playoffs.

The real potential of a Warriors team with Butler likely won’t be seen until next season when it has a full training camp with him and is perhaps able to add a few more pieces this summer to augment the roster.

A little more size and offensive firepower could give the Warriors a puncher’s chance at going very far in next season’s playoffs.
