Jimmy Butler has transformed this Warriors squad completely, as evidenced by his excellent game in their win over the Bucks.

Second, Butler often alienates himself from teams after disagreeing with management. He and the Dubs are still very much in the honeymoon phase, although the eventual reality of his track record is a constant threat, and at a point, the Warriors might have to walk on eggshells. For now, it seems like the Butler gamble has been worth it so far.
