The NBA Warriors' record has skyrocketed since last month's trade for J. Butler. On the 5th, Beijing time, after the Warriors defeated the Knicks 114-102, Butler won 9 of 10 games for his new club, and also rose to 6th in the West.

"ESPN" ball critic Smith said on the 4th that Butler's combination with Curry was a surprise, and he even thought that Butler's help to Curry was almost comparable to that of K. Thompson in the past.
In the 10 games since Butler came to the Warriors, he has averaged 16.3 points, 5.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game, and even if the stats seem inconspicuous, his contributions are far more than the numbers on paper, especially his presence makes the Warriors team play better, and can even give Curry breathing space, while he also brings defensive intensity and can step up in key moments.
Warriors head coach Kerr believes that the good chemistry brought by Butler has improved the Warriors' offensive and defensive capabilities. Butler, on the other hand, thanked Warriors general manager Dunleavy Jr., "I'm very happy to let him see what I've brought to the team, it's always a great feeling to be needed, to be needed and appreciated here, and it's nice to be able to help them." ”
