The Golden State Warriors are unlikely to pursue Jimmy Butler in the upcoming trade deadline, focusing instead on acquiring a center to complement Draymond Green. Reports indicate that the Warriors aim to bolster their size, having one of the smallest lineups in the league. Players under consideration include Nikola Vučević, Walker Kessler, and John Collins from the Utah Jazz, as well as Jonas Valančiūnas and Myles Turner, the latter being an unrestricted free agent.

While Butler has showcased improvement in his three-point shooting, he wouldn't fit seamlessly within the Warriors' playmaking structure, which is already well-covered by Stephen Curry and Green. The organization appears more inclined to strengthen their frontcourt, especially as they seek to enhance their performance after a rocky middle of the season.
