The Golden State Warriors shook things up in a big way on Wednesday, taking part in a five-team trade that will bring Jimmy Butler to the Bay Area and send Andrew Wiggins to the Miami Heat.
Less than an hour later, the ball was tossed for tip-off between the Warriors and Utah Jazz.
Whether or not it the Butler deal is a good trade for the Warriors can — and will be — heavily debated. But what isn’t up for debate is how depleted it left the roster in the short term.
