The Golden State Warriors will go into next season with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green as the foundational three pieces on the roster. But it's going to be important for Warriors fans to accept that Butler's best days are behind him already.
What this is not meant to be is a disrespectful dig at Jimmy. Obviously, he still brings a lot of value at both ends of the floor. Butler is a fantastic defender both on an individual and team level, and his ability to uplift an offense speaks for itself. He's constantly playing with physicality and driving to the rim to draw fouls and put points on the board.
