With Jimmy Butler officially ruled out for the season after a torn ACL, Cyro Asseo breaks down realistic Golden State Warriors trade options to stabilize the roster and stay competitive in the Western Conference playoff race.

Cyro starts with a Warriors team snapshot—a 25–20 record, top-10 net rating (+2.9), and elite three-point volume—before detailing how Butler’s injury removes 20.0 PPG, primary wing defense, and secondary playmaking from an already fragile rotation. With Seth Curry and Al Horford also sidelined, Golden State is facing a depth and balance crisis.

From there, the video explores external trade solutions tied directly to the team’s statistical needs:

Tyus Jones (Magic) as a steady, low-turnover point guard who can reduce Golden State’s ball security issues and ease the offensive burden on Stephen Curry.

Klay Thompson (Mavericks) as a familiar system fit to address shooting consistency and wing scoring.

Daniel Gafford (Mavericks) as a solution to the Warriors’ bottom-third defensive rebounding and lack of interior presence.

Cyro ties each option back to Golden State’s data-driven weaknesses—29th in three-point percentage despite leading the league in attempts, turnover issues, and minimal rim pressure—while evaluating how these moves would reshape the rotation around Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, and the Warriors’ guard-heavy core.

The breakdown concludes with a needs-based trade philosophy, outlining how Golden State can replace Butler’s impact by committee rather than chasing a single star, while preserving flexibility ahead of the postseason push.
