Golden State Warriors Trade Deadline Grades: Jimmy Butler Trade + Extension, No Deal For Vucevic
The 2025 NBA Trade Deadline has passed and the Golden State Warriors news is showing they were big buyers as they try to make a 2025 NBA Playoff push. The Warriors traded for the Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler, sending Andrew Wiggins and a 2025 first round pick to Miami for the 35-year-old Butler. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy tried to make a late push to trade for Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, but could not get a deal done. Golden State Warriors’ roster now includes Steph Curry, Draymond Green and now Jimmy Butler. Warriors Today host Tyler Smith gives his grades post NBA Trade Deadline on today’s Golden State Warriors YouTube video.

Worst front office in sports
Excellent…Jimmy's a TIGER…bringing TIGER intensity…will actually give his ALL…
Gonna really miss Kyle and Lindy…
And, I hate it that Wiggs could never re-attain his intensity…
God bless him
The UTTER FAILURE to add a BIG (Vuc) is pathetic.

If the warriors don't make the playoffs this season Mike dunleavy Jr should be fired. We have been the laughingstock of the NBA since he's been the GM.
👍🏼🫡 we going to miss Wigs but also looking forward to Jimmy buckets lwts get to work kuminga, moody,pod, post, tjd with the vets 🎉
Zach lavine and vuch would have been better and fit in easier
Steve Kerr needs to go he cant coach ? The proof is in the pudding? Bad decision with Wiggins for Butler? We want our looker room peaceful not where everyone walking around on egg shells. 💯🤔
Fired up? Even with Jimmy trade, Warriors just good enough to a 8th or 7th place team
Fire or trade steve Kerr !!!!!!!
Dunleavy the 2nd worst GM in nba. Only Nico Harrison is worse
Grade D for the trade.
If we got vucevic we likely wouldnt have enough money to extend kuminga over the summer. Good move. He is also a cone
F+
A-
D
You have to pay Butler $121mill in the next 2 years. Also have to pay Kuminga. This version of Butler is not the same that played in the finals vs LA. Wiggs was playing well as of late. On top of everything most likely we lose our pick in a fully loaded draft. Not sure we got better.
B÷
This a C+ move they just gave up too much for him tbh
F
B
C
The Warriors need to get more people because they don’t have a 12 team lineup
C
F
useless even if they get the GReek Freak if Kerr is just going to bench him.
Front office fail. Adding butler is nice, adding vucevic was required.
Chicago was never going to accept your deal lol, would have required a first and a third team to make the players work since chicago only had one roster spot to waive
Grade: D
F
They’ve been needing a center for the past 3 years … still haven’t gotten one. Cooked.
SHOUTOUT K0T4Q
Just hope and pray that the team can get the ball rolling, the cream of the crop has to play don't hawk the ball. Somebody can touch you.
I see this move blowing up in the Warriors face. Absolutely pathetic. I give an F grade.
It’s a D for me. And I am being generous. This sucks really. Butler does not fit the system. He is a 30ish% 3 pts shooter. Not as good defensively as he used to be. You also have lost Wiggins who was a better on the ball defender. Wiggins 27, Butler 35! Plus now, you commit 112M and you have to pay Kuminga so who do you add next year? No room! Also
broke the chemistry and spirit. The only reason I don’t go lower is in case playoff Jimmy shows up but…
This is really close to a F for me.
Do not point the finger, to soon about making the playoffs. Don't. Give.up.
Now the buyouts begin. We will add.
