The Golden State Warriors shook things up during the NBA trade deadline earlier this month with their blockbuster trade to land Jimmy Butler.

After a back-and-forth, grueling process with the Miami Heat, the six-time All-Star finally got a chance to step into a new situation, and one where he gets to play alongside one of the best talents in the world –– Stephen Curry.

Butler recently spoke about his fit with Curry on his new team, along with the feelings on his new situation.

“I'm so happy over there. Organization is top-notch. Obviously, I get to play with Steph. I'm a fan of him, just like 99.9% of the world. And the chance of winning a championship? What more could you ask for?"

“I get to play with Steph. Obviously, I'm a fan of him, just like 99.9% of the world… Me and Draymond get along quite well. We play a lot of dominoes; he's the best.”

“When I get the trophy and my ring, I'll be back here.”💍

Butler also unveiled a bit of his relationship with another one of his new Warrior teammates –– Draymond Green.

"Me and Draymond get along quite well," Butler continued. "We play a lot of dominoes; he's the best, and you don't realize how great he is until you actually get on his team, and how he'll do anything to win. And I respect that the most out of anything. It's all about winning all the time with that dude. I'm learning."

In his four games with the Warriors, Butler has averaged 21.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 32 minutes a night.

Jimmy Butler is the only player in the past decade to record 40 PTS on 80% TS in a 2nd half.

That is one point more than Michael Jordan’s career high in a single half.
