The Golden State Warriors will not have an easy path to trading for the Miami Heat star.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It has been widely reported that the Golden State Warriors have been in pursuit of another star player since the offseason. Not making a move for Lauri Markkanen or Paul George during the summer, Golden State brought back all of its assets and young players in hopes of finding a batter deal at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has been the biggest name in recent NBA trade rumors, and the Warriors have been linked to him. Per several reports, including one from ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania, Golden State is among the teams Butler would welcome a trade to.<\/p>\n

While the Warriors would certainly benefit from adding a six-time NBA All-Star like Butler, doing so is difficult, especially under the league\u2019s new CBA.<\/p>\n

Per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Golden State is hesitant to include Andrew Wiggins in a deal for Butler, which would almost certainly be necessary for financial purposes.<\/p>\n

Via Siegel: \u201cRight off the bat, Andrew Wiggins would need to be included in any structure of a Butler deal, which is something the Warriors are not sold on, sources said. Wiggins has been a huge part of the team’s core since arriving during the 2019-20 season, and the former first-overall pick is having arguably his best season since Golden State won their last title in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
