The Golden State Warriors previously appeared to be out on a potential Jimmy Butler move, though the organization may revisit that stance ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
According to The Athletic's Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II, "Butler's situation in Miami has devolved to a degree that the perceived price tag continues to tumble. The Warriors' middling season has upped their desperation level for some sort of a shake-up, all the way up to controlling owner Joe Lacob. Team sources have downplayed their recent involvement in conversations with the Miami Heat, but there's been a noticeable increase in intrigue from the front office about the idea of Butler at a bargain.
