NGL, Jimmy's press conference was a great first impression! 👍👏🔥🔥
LET'S GO DUB NATION!! ❤️❤️
Give it a year
You should probably be concerned at how every time he exits a team there’s always a ton of drama
@@Rogue_Centurion yeah, but he aint got no where to go, he is 35
He is too old and so is the rest of the team. They are all too old.
i just want to say one thing, kuminga was playing incredible before he got hurt, he got hurt in the middle of him having the best stretch of hi career and he’s averaging 17 ppg,
hes a great 3rd option with his rim pressure and hes athletic ability on the defensive end, while his shooting improvement is showing
Lol he wasn't "incredible"
@@binary for a 3rd option, averaging 17 is incredible and hes only 22
@@binarylearn ball, ret8rd
@@crypticdifferent4900 na he was averaging more then 27 the last few games before he got hurt
@ yea ik he was going crazy
Let's not forget that Looney helps the Warriors win 3 championships. Wiggins is very good, but Butler can dominate. With Kuminga returning to the lineup, I think they have all the pieces to be legit title contenders.
yea I mean we won the championship in 2022 without durant and we have almost all those pieces but we replace PLAYOFF jimmy with wiggins. why can't we do it again.
@ Exactly!
@stews576 because the joker exists, and lebron and luka
Kuminga is unreliable...its either he's on or he's off....he's never been stable.
Motivated Jimmy Butler is lethal.
fingers crossed for playoff-Jimmy making a regular season appearance I guess
Yup, we're gonna need that version if we wanna reach playoffs with having to go via play-in. 😊
Warriors BADLY needed a second scorer next to Steph.
That was the HUGE problem they had, which cascaded throughout their whole roster, as mere role players were asked to do MUCH more than they could.
Now, with Jimmy sliding into that second spot, EVERYONE should have a role that fits them better.
I expect this upgrade to make a huge deal, honestly. 😊🙏
Exactly I don’t get how people don’t see that, my only worry is that we don’t have a true rim protector, could still get one with a signing, but still jimmy does literally everything the warriors need him to do
If Jimmy went to any other team people would say they’re contenders
Warriors are struggling to make playoffs. Gotta pray Jimmy actually gives it everything in the regular season
@@johnredelfs6115 I’m not saying he’s a legit rim contender, but our team with our style having Ben Simmons at the five would’ve been pretty serious and the tallest guy we’ve had in the five for a long time
He’s essentially taking klays place even though he’ll never be Klay he’s more well rounded than Klay. And we still got an ascending JK
Simple Answer- Yes! watch us
As a heat fan and watching Jimmy over the past couple of years he isnt really cooked at the point of attack he mainly struggles against ball screen heavy guards but against a guard like brunson he can hold is own because of all the iso ball
AS A MIAMI HEAT FAN TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THERES HONESTLY NO TELLING UNTIL THE PLAYOFFS💯🤷🏾♂️JIMMY LITERALLY GIVES HALF EFFORT DURING REGULAR SEASON & TURNS IT UP DURING PLAYOFFS SO LITERALLY WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT & SEE
PERSONALLY I DOUBT HE WINS A CHAMPIONSHIP IN GOLDEN STATE BUT IMAGINE IF HE FINALLY WINS A RING WITH STEPH HOW MUCH THIS WOULD IMPACT NBA HISTORY😳👀
THANKS FOR SHOUTING NOW I'M DEAF!!!!
LUKA DOES THE SAME HE TURNS INTO MICHEAL JORDAN IN THE PLAYOFFS
Half man half a season.
Luka scores 35, gives up 50
@@1uplink169 this just isn't true
@@1uplink169other way around bud he scores 60 and gives up 50
Simple Answer - No
Beat me to it
You wish! 😉
Time to stamp this comment and see how they do by the end of the season lol.
Yeah, stick it up top.
They still have no 7 footer
Himmy Buckets as a Warrior... I honestly expect GREAT things!! 👍👏🤩🤩🔥🔥
Hope I'm not wrong. 😊🙏
Man Andrew Wiggins was HEALTHY and BALLING in HIS PRIME on team FRIENDLY CONTRACT! WTH!!
GS had to give up something, in the end Wiggins is a role player. Butler is as good as anyone when he's locked in. If GS didn't give up something, Miami would just wait until summer to trade him.
10:50 "You could argue got worse as a defense."
Maybe a little. BUT that was absolutely the price they had to pay (and were clearly willing to pay) to get MUCH better in offense.
Sure, we might expect a minor decline in defense. But that should pale in comparison to the offensive upgrade.
moody,gp2,draymond,kuminga,tjd,butler those are 6 players who can defend so idk how I'll see a decline in defense.
Who’s here after the Chicago game? 😂😂😂😂
Good start. Gotta actually beat decent teams though, instead of bums.
@@prodigiousrobot4139we were down 20 that game and we lost to Utah not to long ago.
People forget Kuminga is hurt and he was going off until he got hurt when he comes back we can make a playoff push
You've got talent, keep blazing.
This is so awesome, you're crushing it. Keep sharing more.
bot
Yes he does,he went to the nba finals twice in 2020s with a bunch of nobody he will do it again but with Steph and a bunch of nobodys
with Spoelstra as coach maybe
He did it in the weakest version of the east
That's 4-5 years ago, people do age unless you take peds also jb is in the talented western confidence
It's very possible. From his first game, it looks like his issue over the last two years (apart for injuries) was effort. He doesn't have to play an entire season, only what 35 games then playoffs. Hey, he did it with less than Steph fs.
@@alitoroganan2442*2
Not only do I guarantee they make the playoffs, I guarantee you they’re gonna end off as the 3 seed I said it once, and I said it before, butler CARRIED that Miami team to the finals BY HIMSELF the first time he had decent pieces around him but the second time there best player was Gabe Vincent anybody who doesn’t think this team is gonna do some serious damage in the postseason does not know ball
You do realize we are over 50 games in and they are the 11 seed. They aren't gonna be the 3 seed lmao. They'd be lucky to get past the 1st round as well
@@franalytics5995I’m starting to think the trade deadline just brings casuals out the woodwork
I’ll be back end of season. Warriors will go far
@@franalytics5995 maybe not the 3 seed but the doubters are dumb this team definitely will make noise you don’t know ball if you think it’s a first round exit
@@josephpullium5026 bro what? Don’t comment some dumb shit like that I actually sit down and study the game you look up stats
The one X Factor is that Butler has a way of pushing his teammates to be better. If guys like Hield, Moody, Podz and JK could elevate their game-especially their shooting-then the Warriors might crawl into the playoffs, where they could be a tough first-round opponent. But it’s a long shot.
Bro what? Foh bro this isn’t a first round exit bro if we didn’t get jimmy that’s what we would’ve been tf, you clearly don’t know ball warriors as the 4th seed at least by the end of the season
Short answer: no. Long answer: hell no
Yes*
@@lopez0017 they’d be a playin team at best
you are absolutely right , hell never

This video will age like milk 😎
No
Warriors are certainly a *very weak* dark horse contender.
Two man game between Bulter And Steph will be extremely hard to guard!
Haven't watched the whole video yet but keep up the great work!
Lmao they are definitely not. Both jimmy and Steph are out of their primes. The warriors team is ass. They will be contending for a playin spot
Dark horse contender at the 11th seed, yeah right buddy
Nah your team trash, Miami let butler go because he washed than you add him with washed curry don’t blame butler when don’t make play in because they already trash
@
First off, I'm a Lebron/Lakers Fan.
Secondly, I said Dark Horse Contender simply because I can't doubt Steph Curry.
I'm not saying that they will win or even make the playoffs but if things go right, they can make a run.
@
Warriors are tied with the 10th seed and are two games out of the 8th and 9th seed.
Again, I'm not saying the Warriors are going to win it all but will certainly be a scary team to face in the play-in and playoffs (if they make it.
Maybe the wording of "Dark Horse" was incorrect, I just think Bulter will make a difference.
But thanks for the analyst!
Wait, Butler is 35??? So you got Draymond, Steph, and Butler all in their mid to late thirties? Idk man...
My glorious king Jimmy Butler
I actually don’t think they had a roster problem. It’s more of a coaching problem to me. But adding Jimmy will help in the playoffs if they get there. There are good scorers on the bench that Kerr doesn’t use. Spencer has been consistently good and he rarely gets minutes. Instead Kerr was playing Waters and Hield. Then he plays 3 small guard line ups and too much just pass the ball to Steph offense. Post should have pulled up 15 games ago once they started tanking to provide spacing. Post, Jimmy, Steph, Draymond, and another reliable shooter (not Hield at this time) should bold well.
They lost their starting shooting guard early in the season, someone who quickly excelled in the Warriors’ schemes and was a quality defender. They then lost two other starters (Green and JK) for significant periods and Steph for 9 games, only to return to the court with lingering tendinitis in both knees. Additionally Wiggins missed several games for personal reasons.
They are probably exactly where one would expect them to be considering.
Wiggins was back to close to his title level. Kuminga had seemingly turned the corner where he was a threat that teams had to prepare for in addition to having to deal with Steph. Podz had taken a step backwards from his rookie season performance and was regularly getting blown by on the perimeter.
Buddy Hield showed great promise on one end and was a disaster on the other. He eventually became what Kings fans warned us he was: inconsistent shooter, great one game, 1-9 the next while being a serious defensive liability on the regular.
Bro working overtime this week. Great videos!
Great video! Wish Melton didn’t get hurt. He would be another great point of attack defender.
That injury has gone under the radar. He was a great fit!
losing wiggs but keeping kuminga u can slide kuminga in as wiggins but u have jimmy a bonafide winner. Say what u want but all of jimmy teams have a commonality and that’s winning.
add the ginger for a tittle for jimmy. We kno he want one bad
The minute that Dray gets in Jimmy's face. That experiment is over. Draymond kills chemistry.
My key takeaway from this video is that they have several FRPs to trade. While I do think they're done being true contenders, I could see an off-season trade with Green + a young guy and some picks for another good player and have atleast a playoff team
Good breakdown... very incorrect conclusion!
NGL, post could be very useful if GSW make it to the playoffs. Look at the mavs during the last playoffs; they played heavy minutes to there rookie big man, and they made it far in the playoff even made it to the finals
Idk what games you're watching, but these clips show Steph getting double and triple teamed cause Wiggs was a no-show as well as the rest of the team. The Chef now has a Butler!! And they haveba stretch 5 in Post.
Excellent analysis.
No but if they can get some depth in the buyout market than maybe .
@HenryCorya-oe4tc we definitely missed out on Ben Simmons starting at our center position
Just another desperate move, the Warriors have really messed up the team since the ring year in 22, and really since 2019. They should’ve placed Draymond’s things and sent him on his way, now they get another Draymond in Jimmy, really stupid
Lol I don’t agree with anything in this video. It was Steph and jimmy’s first game together and it showed the bad then you seen what this duo could possibly look like. Completely disagree on QP he is the key to this whole thing he’s been solid on both ends and is the next breakout C not only for GS but in the NBA. Ofc this all depends on Kerr but let’s see what this looks like with some chemistry
Curry,butler,kuminga,post should be the starting lineup
No because while he's an upgrade over Andrew Wiggins, they need more pieces.
This take didn't sit well 24 hours later.
Getting rid of Dennis Schröder was a big mistake.
Had they gotten a center alongside butler or kept wiggins to pair with butler and curry maybe. As of now the focus should be on next season
I am excited to see what that screen handoff looks like with Steph
Another thing people seem to not think of is that curry was unmotivated ASF at after they started losing a bunch of games you could see it in his face. He didn’t really wanna play, the moment they went out and got a second star and curry actually try again he drops 34 last night and honestly the same thing with Butler. The reason he wasn’t playing that well for Miami is because he didn’t want to be there. They weren’t gonna pay him so he wasn’t gonna work for them. I’m sorry, but people are stupid asf
The warriors have done a poor job staying competitive for steph. They shoulda blew it up and traded steph to a contender for picks and young guys
If they made no move, they would just be a play in team just like last year
@@Tai-y1d no they wouldn’t even even got that
Don't forget that Steph is getting doubled almost every possession and the team can't shoot
Steph looked human without Klay. His FG% is just bad.
Another Calm W vid from that boy Tyler
If they had shipped out Dray instead of Wiggins, I’d say a strong maybe. Starting 5 of Steph, Wiggs, Butler, JK , and Post would’ve been pretty good. Still would’ve needed an upgrade at the 5, but as it stands, they are still bottom of the pack imo.
Draymond is still by far their best defender. They should've shipped out Kuminga and whoever to keep wiggins.
@ Dray may be a great team defender - but he wasn’t better than Wiggs, could never guard Tatum or Luka the way Wiggs did. Wiggins always took the toughest assignments.
Not a contender. Jimmy is not KD.
Nope not with this front court, and not with Steve Kerr playing players out of position
I think JK is a great on ball defender. He’s team defense has been always the issue. But with Jimmy and Draymond, he has two helpers. I hope he returns soon!!!
Replace Kerr with Brown and they'll contend!
4:18 And this is why Jimmy will make a HUGE difference.
Also in the minutes Steph is ON the floor, but ESPECIALLY when he's off the court.
They could have traded for KD and the answer would still be no.
That's just hating lmao.
i see this move as one for next season. You have your core and young players. They can move off of these players in the offseason/next season and become legit contenders imo
Curry isn’t a top 15 player anymore
Not unless he's willing to play off ball.💀
He’s one of the best off-ball players in the league! I just think the depth is too weak.
It depdnds on what the Warriors do in the buyout market.
Instead of the red font to correct your misquote you should do a white font with black outline. Just an idea to contribute to the goat nba content creator!
I’ve never left, just haven’t been able to be there as soon as you post anymore 😅
Jimmy is Great when he wants to play 🔥

Warriors fell off. Nobody fears them no more.
And they'll be proven WRONG. 😊
Hit that like y'all, lets boost this one early
🔥🔥
They could have gotten Michael Jordan and still be about to lose because they have no 7fters
I think you're totally over looking Jonathan
39% being the second lowest 3pt percentage of steph's career is absurd
Curry has a hurt hand, bum knee and is constantly triple teamed...of course, he will have a lower percentage. Butler frees him up and his percentages will get back to astronomical.
Lets not forget that everyone was saying poole was washed and trash because he didnt want to play in golden state anymore. N look at him now… we are rating jimmy butler on stats and effort on a team he didnt want to be on anymore and was literally put on the back burner. Were acting like hes some old guy that got out of shape and cant play anymore. Hes 35 and is still in great physical shape, well see how he does when hes actually excited and has that drive to push a team to the finals again. Lets remember there was years that he literally took the heat deep in the playoffs with a mediocre team.
What theyre missing is a rebounding defensive big that could match up with 7 footers
Answer - Yes
this is heavily going to depend on the depth, if quintin post, Podz, Moody, keep developing then they can be a solid team, theres defintely room for improvement, and we will see what kind of jimmy butler the Warriors get, cause Butler and Curry could go off, and greens going to feed butler a LOT
Win now rebuild later
Never doubted jimmy's skill. His temper along with dray though... But its good content either way so for me, its still a good trade.
Glaze on butler is nuttyyy
*NO*
They'll be a little better, but their ascendency truly relies on Kuminga which I'm not sure will happen soon enough before Curry, Dray and Butler get too old to compete.
They also have no true big and haven't had one since Zaza. Wiseman doesn't count because they botched that draft outside of JP. I still think they should've picked LaMelo over Wiseman. Ball learning under the tutelage of Curry would've been nice to see.
However, the good thing about the trade though is that they didn't give up Kuminga for Butler. It's sad to see Wiggins go because he was instrumental to that 2022 Championship, but he was never the same after that year.
With that said, it would be great to see them at least make a meaningful run into the playoffs and hopefully pick up a few more pieces next year to take them over the top.
Jimmy was ranked as the number 3 player before his shenanigans. He should help.
I imagine he will also stabilize steve kerrs rotation although that might be wishful thinking. They at least have two superstars now which should put them in the conversation at least.
What ranking was that and what is it based on?
moses moody been hooping
Jimmy butler made them worst. That’s what they get for letting go of Klay Thompson. Now they stuck with an overrated jimmy butler
Obviously, yes!
i think if the warriors get playoff jimmy for the next 2 years pissed off at the world then possibly. If you get The jimmy the heat have gotten the last 2 years then not a chance.
Short answer no. If they kept Wiggins and Anderson. Then yes. Buddy and Dennis needed to go, probably even Draymond at this point, dude is just throwing tantrums every time. Having Jimmy and Wiggins would been huge on the defensive side even on the offensive side because jimmy would push wiggins.
He has been better his whole career than Wiggins except for this year the drama year. Go ahead and say it Wiggins has a ring. Yeah, that theory says every single player that ever sat on the bunch through the whole finals is better than Jimmy. Why don’t you check Jimmy’s playoff stats. Wiggins was never gonna be a quality option too 1718 points a game doesn’t cut it. that’s why Clay was always the number two and he was the number three.
Wiggins was the number two in the finals. Klay was ass.
@ for a season bro, and no matter what happened in that game everybody respected Clay, which opened up more for both of them. All they have to do is pretty much slow down curry and Wiggins will never be enough. But again, what about my entire post? Are you disagreeing with all of iteven with the ring Jimmy Butler would get in the Hall of Fame before him
@@224bigwheel what do you mean?
@ wiggins is not a number two option. That is my point Jimmy Butler is more than a number two option for his whole career except for this year. That was the drama year. Jimmy Butler is better than Wiggins in the playoffs, but a lot of people are saying well Wiggins has a ring. When I hear that comment I hear is everybody in the history of the NBA that has a ring whether they stepped on the court during the finals or not is better than Jimmy Butler.
Maybe a hot take but Alpy should be their next move 👀
I think maybe
If He is Healthy He will Atleast make them play With more effort and hold players accountable.
You are better than Steve Kerr on seeing all this. 👍
ppl rlly do anything 4 content. steph has had a sprained thumb all year and thats why hes struggled. especially the last 7 games after he re-aggravated it 7 gms ago
They might get Lonzo Ball.
What moves this off season do you think makes this team a contender?
LAKERS AND WARRIORS ARE STILL NOT CONTENDERS STOP!
Hell no
Would've 2 years ago, too little too late though.
Well, we'll find out. 😊
Jimmy wasn’t trying in defense in Miami this season: so you can’t go off his numbers this season.
Hell no they are not better than lakers nuggets wolves oks even the spurs might be better Memphis rockets
They're too old.
Change the record. 😉
No, it makes Warriors more like pretenders. But without the trade, Warriors weren’t even pretenders.
