I Just Watched Jimmy Butler’s Warriors DEBUT…
Jimmy Butler just made his debut in a Warriors win against the Bulls and it became IMMEDIATELY clear that he is going to be a massive upgrade for Golden State.

Warriors is def making it to the post season now, see you at the WCF!
Bulls suck, need to see more games. But this should work out. Spacing now with Post so Jimmy can just drive or do mid range. And for him not practicing at all is kinda crazy.
A happy Jimmy is a good Jimmy. He's a simple star lol
Could be back to back rings if they stay healthy
If Kuminga can pick up on Jimmy's finishing ability he'll be very valuable
You people went from "Butler is too old" to "Butler is so good with Steph" in a heartbeat. I'm starting to doubt if you know basketball or you're just a bitcoin speculator. The only reason Pat Riley does not want to pay him is he wants a younger go-to guy, NOT because Butler's not good. This is Jimmy Buckets we're talking about. The guy who willed the 2022-23 Heat team from the play-in to the NBA finals with just Adebayo, an aging Lowry, and a bunch of over-achieving bench players all without Herro. He also lead the 2021-22 Heat team from the top seed to the ECF, just losing to the Celts on Game 7. And if he didn't get hurt in the 2023-24, he would have lead the Heat again to the playoffs. There is a reason why Giannis and the Bucks haven't reached the ECF for the past few years and it's because of Jimmy. This is the guy who has been battling Giannis, Embiid, Bronson, Tatum, Brown, Young in the recent playoffs. Have you all forgotten? That's just 3-4 years ago, or just like I said, you people just don't have a clue what you're saying.
1:54 bullshit! Steph doesn't get FTs much, fuck you mean a decent amount
Can't be a lead guy ? Stay tuned for the playoffs. And yes the Warriors will be there
If he's motivated and healthy (both big if's), Butler fills in a lot of things for the Warriors. Solid defender, good passer, smart player, someone you have to game plan around or he'll destroy you, someone who drives the hoop a lot, and someone who gets to the foul line a lot. I don't know if Butler makes them true title contenders, but nobody wants to play the Warriors in a playoff series now because they're dangerous as hell.
An amazing start–but this was the Bulls… When i see them dismantle the Lakers I will be a believer witn both teams at full strength
0:13 wait say that again
You lost me in the first two minutes because Draymond has been more effective, offensively the last two season than he has been in the previous five years.
I understand ppl disliking Draymond because of the antics….. apart from that he's central to their offense and defense. If y'all are GSW/basketball fans, this would be obvious.
jimmy is bigger than wiggins actually 😂😂
Why did you underestimate jimmy butler? This player makes any team better if he was on it, period.
Having josh giddy guard jimmy explains why he looks like a mvp
You should have watched the last few months of Jimmy's tenure in Miami. It is very telling of what will happen after this honeymoon stage with the Warriors.
I wanna see them play against a team that isn’t actively tanking the season before giving a proper grade on the pairing with Jimmy.
Part-Time Jimmy with a Warriors whistle, damn, he's gonna give autism reaves and Shai Freethrows-Alexander a run for the title of biggest foul baiter
Draymond is getting older? But he's a year younger than Butler
Love this for gsw
I know GS runs a hybrid "triangle offense" they absolulty need to run .ore triangle offense plays with jimmy in the post. And curry in thr D-fish roll.
Jimmy Baller!!! It's all the little things that Jimmy does that never gets mentioned! For example, Jimmy fights for positioning and rebounding before every shot goes up. Kuminga can learn a thing or two because they're pretty much the same size. That's the difference between a max player and a mid player. Kuminga with his youth, size, and athleticism should easily average close to 10 rebounds a game. Better study Jimmy closely, Kuminga. Same goes for Wi…
Buttler also gets a lot of offensive rebounds, he got it in this game and scored a point, we can also see him going for the rebound when the team attacks and many times he was ready but the shot was right, so if they had made a mistake he would have been there potentially catching it and also making the attack lose speed
They exchanged wiggins for a player … draymond cant play like .. if draymond had the offensive ability they wouldnt of needed butler …… draymond does nothing but learned to screen currys man and pass it over to him for the shot
TBH, I wish they could’ve got this trade done by shipping out Draymond instead of Wiggs.
Jimmy has always wanted to be on a contending team and get paid. As long as those conditions are met, he always performs. This is the most underrated trade this year.
Jimmy Butler always reminded me of Kawhi, physically so strong, great defender. Different games, but so good in playoffs.
Curry Butler combo reminds me of Stockton Malone combo
Curry Butler combo…both inside and outside assassin
Getting to the free throw also gets the defense set and thats Huge for a team that been bad in transistion defense
Dont expect this effort every game. Warriors just paid him 2 years but will get half of that worth
Jimmy Butler is one of the worst flopper of all time
Jimmy is so underrated. More steals than turnovers in is career is absolutely insane.
that in bound play at 1:40 is showing incompetent referee
A player I'd love us to get on the buyout market is Marcus Smart, imagine Jimmy, Smart & Dray bullying and harassing everyone on the floor

They the underdogs and Jimmy will get a ring
Steph Jimmy Dray Buddy/GP2 and my man KumBuckets at crunch time is scary hours
Something few other have mentioned is how this likely extends Steph's run. KD and LeBron have been playing with significantly better co-stars these last several years, and as a result, have aged more gracefully. It looked like Steph was gonna retire before LeBron if they kept losing at this rate.
they finally got rid of wiggins
You guys really consider the thought that going from Wiggins to Butler won’t be an upgrade 😂😂🫵. I mean a guy who got his team to the finals won’t be of help to curry who is ALWAYS trying to carry his team . It is obvious that he will take some pressure off of Curry’s shoulders and that they will share the responsibility of carrying the team
massive?
