Everything seems bright and vibrant in the Golden State camp now, as the missing pieces finally came together to complete the Warriors' puzzle. The post Stephen Curry Was Uncomfortable With Jimmy Butler’s Trade As Unheard Details of $110 Million News Emerge appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Prior to being traded from the Miami Heat to the Golden State Warriors last month, star forward Jimmy Butler's preferred destination was widely known to be the Phoenix Suns. However, Butler explained to The Athletic's Anthony Slater that his initial hesitance to be sent to the Warriors stemmed from his lack of a relationship with Golden State's players.

Jimmy Butler made it clear he did not want to be a member of the Miami Heat any longer earlier this season. But what was not clear was how much Butler, at 35 years old, would help a team trying to contend for a championship if he was traded.

The Warriors, who were playing without Stephen Curry, got down by 17 after the first quarter and were never really able to fight their way back in a 124-115 loss that wasn't as close as that score indicates.

Stephen Curry is eyeing his fifth NBA championship this season but is also fighting for home-court advantage in the playoffs. The Golden State Warriors are locked in a battle they can win—but one that could also see them drop out of the playoff bracket altogether.

Dunleavy later told Warriors coach Steve Kerr that Curry lobbied to re-enter the game, but Dr. Rick Celebrini and the franchise’s medical team decided not to risk it. They instead shut Curry down and sent him for a late-night MRI on the injury. The extent of the injury is not yet known.
