Jimmy Butler is traded to the Golden State Warriors *logs off the internet*

The Golden State Warriors are one of the best teams – if not the best – in NBA history and by the time they hit the 2019 playoffs this season, they will most likely have five All-Stars in their starting lineup.

This move would allow them to have a sixth All-Star coming off the bench – I’m more pissed than you that I had to add this in here, I’m literally wasting my fingers typing this.

I actually thought this would be the most unlikely deal possible, but somehow, the return on this deal isn’t half bad.

Sending Jordan Bell and fan favorite Andre Igoudala to Minnesota to round out their roster seems pretty sweet compared to other deals Minnesota are supposedly sitting on at the moment, and the two unprotected late firsts would most likely have to turn into three or four, but I can’t see Golden State giving up much more.

Mostly because they really value draft picks, which is what creates a winning culture and Minnesota should try to do tha … nevermind.

Moreover, the idea of Butler leading a second unit in Golden State just seems unfair, but lets be real, if Golden State wants to really be remembered – this would put them in the history books of sports, not just the NBA.

I refuse to add any more of my thoughts into this slide because I’m getting sick thinking of how real of an actual possibility this could be. I will add that Jordan Bell coming off the bench as a spark plug would be a really fun move for Minny and Thibs could turn him into a defensive monster. And Iggy would be a great veteran for Andrew Wiggins to learn from, as they are similar frames in similar positions.
