Jimmy Butler's recent approach to the Golden State Warriors asking about their free agency plans was significantly overblown on social media, but it doesn't mean there's not a cause for concern less than two weeks out from training camp.
Butler will again play a major role as Stephen Curry's sidekick (or Robin as Butler himself likes to put it) this season, yet it's his impact when the 2x MVP is off the floor that will be just as valuable in Golden State's potential success.
One of the biggest positives and reasons to trading for Butler in February was to ensure that one of he or Curry could be on the floor at all times, allowing the Warriors to alleviate pressure on the 37-year-old franchise superstar.
