LeBron James or Jimmy Butler are the targets of the Warriors’ seismic moves, according to a report.
With the Golden State Warriors in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race and Steph Curry still playing at an MVP level, the organization is reportedly being proactive in making a move for an All-Star player prior to the trade deadline in order to perhaps give the duo of Curry and Draymond Green one more shot at an NBA title.
And two players they’re eyeing, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, are’t just All-Stars, but two of the greatest players of their generation and future Hall of Famers: Jimmy Butler and LeBron James.
During an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up! on Wednesday, December 11, Windhorst reported that the Warriors are monitoring the situations of both Butler in Miami with the Heat and LeBron in Los Angeles with the Lakers.
The Lakers currently sit 8th in the Western Conference with a 13-11 record, while the Heat are fifth in the Eastern Conference at 12-10.
“The most important names to watch between now and the February trade deadline, it isn’t just Jonathan Kaminga, it’s also Jimmy Butler down in Miami,” Windhorst reported on ESPN’s morning show Get Up! on Wednesday, December 11.
