The Golden State Warriors head into the offseason following a second-round playoff exit having already made their biggest move to boost the roster for 2025-26. A midseason trade for Jimmy Butler sparked a late-season surge that carried the Warriors on a successful run that came to an abrupt end after star Stephen Curry's injured hamstring led to four straight losses to Minnesota.

The Warriors spent little in acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat and in turn received a chance at NBA Finals.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry praised his team's trade for Jimmy Butler, telling reporters it was a "success" and that the six-time All-Star was a "seamless fit."
