for Steve Kerr, Jimmy Butler changed everything
Before acquiring Jimmy Butler III in February, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr considered his team ‘dead in the water.’
“I was all for it, just because we had nothing going,” Kerr said on the most recent episode of the Tom Tolbert Show. “We were at the point in the season where you could just feel it, we were dead in the water. We were below .500 and it had been a long enough stretch where it was like ‘alright, this isn’t working.”
Kerr wanted a change — and Jimmy Buckets was exactly the change he was seeking.
