Jimmy Butler has proven a locker room problem at times during his previous stops in the NBA, but there's no suggestion of that at the Golden State Warriors following his blockbuster acquisition in February.
In fact, it's been the complete opposite as Butler has completely changed the fortunes of the franchise. Part of the reason things may be different is because the Warriors have granted Butler the wish of playing alongside a veteran core, something he didn't necessarily have in his previous stints with the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat.
