Lakers and Warriors: The Dark Horse Transformation Post-NBA Trade Deadline?
Since Feb. 7 â the day following the trade deadline â only the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have won 15 in a row, have a better record than the Warriorsâ 12-2 mark over that span. One of those losses came without Butler, who is averaging slightly more points (17.6/17.0), assists (5.7/4.8) and rebounds (5.7/5.2) than he did with Miami this season.
Golden State gave up Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round pick for one of the best two-way players in the league, per DRIP (our Daily-updated Rating of Individual Performance). Butler ranks fourth in overall DRIP (4.2) and is one of only five players with at least a 2.0 offensive DRIP and a 1.0 defensive DRIP.
