The Golden State Warriors are rolling. With their 97-94 victory over the New York Knicks on Saturday night, the Dubs have notched seven wins in a row and since their blockbuster trade for forward Jimmy Butler at the NBA trade deadline, are a Western Conference-best 14-2.

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.
