Jimmy Butler’s season-ending injury has led to turmoil in the NBA world, and Steph Curry seemed to be subtly expressing his intentions for what could be his last season in the NBA. With Kuminga already in trade talks due to his dissatisfaction with the front office, the situation seems to be getting worse for the team.
Curry, who has been the face of the Warriors franchise his entire career, is giving all he can as a veteran, averaging 27.4 points and 4.9 assists. After 17 seasons in the league, he might be at the end of his storied career, and the franchise would look to place the best pieces it can around the 4-time NBA champion.
Sharing the news of the Warriors looking out for options in return for Jimmy Butler in the trade, Basketball Forever posted on Instagram with a caption:
“The Warriors are reportedly open to trading Jimmy Butler even after tearing his ACL 😳
All options are on the table as the Warriors are desperate to maximise Steph Curry’s final seasons.”
However, fans quickly noticed that Steph Curry himself liked the post and were abuzz with the news. One highlighted Butler’s growing chemistry with the Warriors squad and wrote:
“He’s Going to Lose His Joy Again”
Another wrote:
“Liked by Curry himself so maybe”
The screenshot of Curry liking the post was even shared on X by fans.
They began to predict Butler’s next destination, referring to recent rumors of the Bucks and Warriors’ framing a deal, as one wrote:
“I think he’ll like Milwaukee”
Another wrote:
“It’s time for giannis”
One Warriors fan showed love for Jimmy:
“we love you jimmy but business is needed”
Another expressed his thoughts on the Warriors’ current situation and wrote:
“Bro speaking through likes instead of opening his mouth and telling the FO he wants a trade. This is the most passive face of the franchise I’ve ever seen. He’s part of the problem”
While Jimmy Butler’s trade looks inevitable, the front office will have to decide on the move as soon as possible if they want to save the season for Steph Curry. Meanwhile, some sources even suggested a rift between head coach Steve Kerr and the Warriors guard.
Steph Curry reportedly skeptical about ending his career with Steve Kerr
The Golden State Warriors’ locker room has looked as shaky as it can this season, and things have gone downhill after Jimmy Buckets’ injury. To make it worse, a senior NBA analyst reported that Curry might be “uncertain” about ending his career with HC Kerr.
This might not point to a potential Steph Curry trade, but looking at the relationship the two have had in the past, it seems Curry might be aiming for some unemotional changes. The team management might pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo to put him beside the best shooter of all time.
