Jimmy Butler and LeBron James could be trade targets for the Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors are 14-9 approximately a quarter of the way through the season. They're 4.5 games behind the best team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and 2.5 games ahead of the San Antonio Spurs, who are currently on the outside looking in at the play-in.this morning, Windhorst reported that the Warriors were interested in two major names: Jimmy Butler and LeBron James.
As for LeBron James, he's only missed one game, but the Lakers have lost seven of their last 10 games. He has a no-trade clause, but if he wants to reunite with his Olympic friends Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr, he could certainly make that happen. The Warriors reportedly asked about LeBron last season but were shut down by the Lakers.
If the Warriors somehow land either of these players, it won't necessarily make them favorites for the title, but they'll quickly become the league-leaders in takes generated.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
