Jimmy Butler is a perfect example of just how extreme these dissolutions can become. Not only is he fresh off a contentious exit from the Miami Heat, but his Golden State Warriors are duking it out in the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team he openly forced his way off back in 2018.

Warriors forward Jimmy Butler could become “Jimmy Buckets” if Steph Curry misses extended time with a hamstring injury.

Even with the face of the franchise lost for the game in the second quarter, the Warriors used veteran guile and surprising contributions from unexpected places to have put the Wolves on the ropes to start the fourth quarter at Target Center.
