Warriors Rumors: Zach LaVine Trade Viewed as 'Safer Option' Than Jimmy Butler By Some

As the Golden State Warriors prepare for the upcoming trade deadline, there are a handful of players that they might target.

The big name is Miami Heat's disgruntled star Jimmy Butler, but according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson, a trade for Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is considered to be the "safer option" by some people in the organization.

"LaVine is viewed by some within the organization as the safer option," Slater and Thompson wrote. "At 29, he's five and a half years younger and some $6 million cheaper than Butler this season, though his contract extends longer and he's had some recent health concerns.
