'Superstar' or 'problematic'? - Warriors fans react to Butler trade - video Dailymotion

Golden State Warriors' fans were left conflicted by the team's trade acquisition of Jimmy Butler

Transcript

00:00At first, you know, I mean, I'm kind of excited for the Warriors, but on deeper thought, it's

00:09going to be problematic for them because Jimmy Butler is used to being the star of the team,

00:14to dominating the team.

00:15Butler is also known as a Butler first type player, and he has a little bit of a reputation

00:20of putting himself above the team.

00:22I wonder if, you know, Butler can deflate his ego a little bit in order to mesh with

00:27the Warriors.

00:28I think it's great.

00:29I think that, you know, after the Lakers did the whole Luka trade, that it's probably a

00:32wise idea that they do something.

00:34They haven't, you know, been necessarily a cohesive unit as well this year, so they need

00:38to, like, get some other kick in the butt to get more scoring in.

00:42It's a very risky trade.

00:45It's what they needed to do to try to win games, though, because the Warriors, yeah,

00:54I mean, they're not winning as many games as they want, so they've got to do something.

00:58I mean, it's cool.

00:59I'm not a big fan, but, I mean, I think it depends on what Jimmy Butler brings to the,

01:04you know, to the team, because sometimes you've got to make sure that either with Jimmy Butler,

01:08either we're 100% in or we're 100% out.

01:11It's no in between with Jimmy Butler.

01:12He likes to switch teams, but those teams weren't really competing like the Warriors.

01:15I think now that he's with the Warriors that can compete for a ring, I don't think there's

01:19going to be too much of an issue with that.

01:20I think his issue was playing for a team that can get him a ring, and he hasn't had that.

01:23So now he has a good shot of winning there.
