Jimmy Butler spoke after his debut for the Warriors against the Chicago Bulls. He expressed his gratitude for Green’s willingness to be helpful.
“He’s telling me what he sees and I’m telling him what I see. Hell, I don’t know too many of the plays right now anyway, so he’s definitely telling me where to go on the floor.”
“And I’m grateful, he’s shown me so much grace in understanding I am new here, even though I’ve been around the league for so long. He’s showing me the way, and I’m very thankful for Draymond.”
Butler played well in his debut, scoring 25 points along with two rebounds and four assists. Perhaps Green’s willingness to help him allowed him to do well in his debut.

It might be unlikely, but the Golden State Warriors could make a deep playoff run. They now have Jimmy Butler, one of the NBA’s biggest playoff risers alongside Stephen Curry, a 4-time NBA champion.
Two of the best playoff performers in the NBA are now on the same team. Now the Warriors just need the rest of the team to step up at a high level.
The Warriors have shown in the past that they can take a less-than-stellar roster to the NBA Finals. Their 2022 NBA championship win had the weakest team of their modern dynasty.
Butler undoubtedly makes the Warriors better. However, it is up to Steve Kerr to adjust the rotation so that he gets the best out of the Warriors.
