However, five games into the regular season, and the Warriors have looked better than most other teams in the league. They sit at 4-1 overall and things seem to be going as planned.<\/p>\n<p>This impressive start could make the front office interested in trading for another star to pair with\u00a0Draymond Green\u00a0and\u00a0Steph Curry. If the Warriors believe they could win a championship, finding a third star wouldn\u2019t be the worst idea, depending on what they give up.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sam Amick of The Athletic,\u00a0Jimmy Butler\u00a0is a name to watch for. He reported that the Warriors are \u201cmore willing than ever\u201d to trade\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga, highlighting that Butler could be a name to watch in a deal involving Kuminga.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end certainly justified the means \u2014 two Warriors wins during a 4-1 start \u2014 but it also served as a reminder that Kuminga would probably be better off elsewhere. To be fair, Kuminga played more minutes and was more productive in those two Pelicans games than he had in the previous three (28 and 27 minutes, respectively; 17 and 16 points).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet while rival executives believe the Warriors are more willing than ever to include Kuminga in a trade of significant magnitude, the fact remains that they\u2019re setting their sights very high in terms of possible targets,\u201d\u00a0Amick wrote on November 1. \u201cOne name to monitor is Jimmy Butler, the 35-year-old Miami Heat star who league sources say drew interest from the Warriors during the offseason and who did not come to terms on an extension. He\u2019ll be an unrestricted free agent next summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Warriors Stars Content With What They Have<\/h2>\n<p>The Golden State Warriors hot start could also lead the front office to not trade for a third star, as they might believe what they have is enough to win a championship. But as Amick alluded, there\u2019s a sense that they\u2019re looking for a home run trade.<\/p>\n<p>Curry and Green, the two Warriors stars, aren\u2019t too concerned about adding another player just yet. Green told ESPN\u2019s Ohm Youngmisuk that if he and Curry are on the court together, the Warriors always have a chance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as we\u2019re on the floor, we got a chance,\u201d\u00a0Green said\u00a0in October. \u201cOnce you get in them playoffs, you watch [opposing] guys fold every day and forget to play basketball. You see that often.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll we need is a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green isn\u2019t the only one who\u2019s made comments about the lack of Warriors moves for a third guy. Head coach\u00a0Steve Kerr also said it only makes sense to go all-in for a franchise-altering player, which Butler could be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve added really good players,\u201d Kerr told ESPN earlier in October. \u201cWe didn\u2019t go all-in and give away our future at a time where it doesn\u2019t really make sense to do that. It makes sense to do that when you\u2019ve got a chance to go after a franchise-changing player when you\u2019re on the cusp of a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Butler Would Help the Warriors<\/h2>\n<p>While Green shared that comment, the idea of adding Butler should intrigue him, as he\u2019s a proven playoff star who would bring the toughness that the Golden State Warriors have had over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s helped carry the\u00a0Miami Heat to two NBA finals since the COVID year, and while Butler hasn\u2019t completed the task of winning it all, he\u2019s done everything he can to get his team in that position.<\/p>\n<p>Butler has averaged 24.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in his playoff career with the Heat.<\/p>\n<p>His $146 million contract could be difficult to match, but the Warriors could get creative and find a way to land the veteran star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyJonathan Kuminga dribbling the ball The\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u00a0attempted to land\u00a0Lauri Markkanen\u00a0and\u00a0Paul George\u00a0in the offseason, but weren\u2019t able to complete either task.
