After the game, Draymond Green spoke highly of his new teammate.

Green (h/t 95.7 The Game): "Jimmy has that presence to where you feel like you need to fit in around him. You don’t have to make him fit in. And when a guy has that type of presence, this isn’t a place where anyone tries to fight that. We don't try to fight that... We will do exactly that. We will figure out how to fit in around you."

Butler had spent the previous five and a half seasons playing for the Miami Heat.
