<\/p>\n

This NBA season will unveil a new-look Golden State Warriors, as Klay Thompson is slated to start with the Dallas Mavericks in October after spending over a decade with his previous team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yet, a recent revelation by Sam Amick from The Athletic<\/em> suggests that the Warriors might be considering an even bolder move.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It appears that Golden State has explored the possibility of acquiring Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, according to Amick during a discussion on The TK Show<\/em> hosted by seasoned Bay Area sports journalist Tim Kawakami.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“For a significant change like this, not just in free agency but through a trade, things really have to align,” Amick explained. “Jimmy Butler comes to mind; he’s heading into free agency next summer without a recent extension. The Warriors showed some interest, likely making a few inquiries over the summer,” he added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Indeed, Butler is on the last year of his contract with the Heat, commanding a salary of $48.8 million this year, with a player option for $52.4 million in 2026.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Warriors, who had a 46\u201336 record last season and missed the playoffs, are looking to revitalize their lineup, especially after recording their second-highest non-playoff season win percentage in the team’s history. Similarly, Miami experienced an early playoff exit last season, just a year after they clinched the Eastern Conference title.<\/p>\n
