Jimmy Butler’s first season with the Golden State Warriors may not have ended the way he envisioned, but his enthusiasm for the team remains strong. After being traded to the Warriors in February, Butler played a key role in securing the seventh seed in the Western Conference and helped lead the team to a first-round victory over the Houston Rockets in seven games. However, their postseason run came to an abrupt end in the conference semifinals, where they fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games.
Speaking to the media following the team’s elimination, Butler made it clear that he was content with his situation in Golden State. “I’m comfortable. I’m happy. I got my joy back as Buddy said. I am very fortunate to be here,” Butler said, referencing teammate Buddy Hield. His remarks carry weight, given his history of pushing for exits from teams when dissatisfied-a reputation that has followed him throughout his NBA career.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors were stunned when they found out about Luka
Butler also emphasized his acceptance of playing as the second option behind Warriors star Stephen Curry. “To come here and know I’m second to Steph is a really good thing. To be his sidekick, it’s really refreshing,” he added. This mindset could prove pivotal for the Warriors, as Butler’s willingness to embrace a complementary role could help unlock the team’s offensive potential in the coming seasons.

A gamble that paid off
Golden State took a calculated risk when they acquired Butler, betting on his ability to bring toughness and experience to the roster. While the trade did not immediately yield championship results, Butler’s presence had a positive impact. The Warriors went 27-8 in games where Butler and Curry both played, indicating that they could become a formidable duo if given more time to develop chemistry. However, a hamstring injury to Curry in Game 1 of the conference semifinals significantly hindered the team’s ability to compete with Minnesota.
With Butler still under contract for two more seasons, the Warriors have time to refine their lineup and maximize his contributions. The front office is confident that with a fully healthy roster and an entire offseason to adjust, Golden State can return as a legitimate contender. Butler’s mindset, coupled with his ability to complement Curry, could be exactly what the Warriors need to elevate their game in the competitive Western Conference.
As the offseason unfolds, the Warriors will shift their focus to roster tweaks and preparations for another playoff push. Butler’s satisfaction with his role and his commitment to the team suggest that Golden State will have a strong foundation moving forward. If his presence continues to energize the Warriors, next season could be the one where the risk pays off in full.

Djokovic overcomes fatigue and Tien test to earn US Open win
Novak Djokovic overcame fatigue, blisters and teenager Learner Tien to reach the second round on Sunday night at the US Open.The 38-year-old, bidding for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, made it 19 consecutive wins against Americans at Grand Slams and 19-0 in US Open first-round matches. But while a 6-1 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 scoreline may appear routine, Djokovic, who was playing his first match since he fell to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finals, looked anything but comfortable in the closing stages of a second set which lasted 82 minutes.
