Jimmy Butler had an enormous impact on the Golden State Warriors last season, helping to take a below .500 team all the way to the second-round of the playoffs before Stephen Curry's injury ruined any hope against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Butler's blockbuster arrival to the Bay generated improvement in a number of different areas, but it was the veteran's ability to uplift his teammates that was perhaps the most telling point from his start to life as a Warrior.
Now Golden State appear to be doubling down on one of Butler's biggest strengths, potentially making for an even better version of the 6x All-Star as the franchise plots a path back towards legitimate title contention.
