Its finally happening! With the deadline approaching, the Warriors in a desperate move, reportedly inquired about every available All-Star for a potential trade. Well, it looks like they got what they wanted, as Jimmy Butler is coming to the Bay Area in a shocking multi-team trade. But Steve Kerr did not seem too thrilled about the blockbuster move.
Yes, as per veteran insider Shams Charania, the Heat are finalizing a deal to send Jimmy to the Warriors. Obviously, the acquisition comes at a hefty price. In exchange, Joe Lacob is parting ways with Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, Lindy Waters III, and a protected first-round pick. Well, the timing of the trade could not have been worse as the news broke right before the Warriors were heading to the court to face the Jazz.
Turns out, the team had a closed-door meeting during media time, with Kerr addressing the players. Even those who were already on the hardwood were brought back to the locker room. And the head coach was seen walking out with his head held down. Of course, Kerr and Stephen Curry were reportedly not in favor of the Warriors acquiring Butler and risking the future by giving up valuable assets. But Lacob seems to have ignored their plea.
