When the Golden State Warriors traded for Jimmy Butler, a very clear message was sent to the established stars.

The Warriors lost to the Utah Jazz on the night of the Butler trade. Steph Curry was emotional in the postgame locker room because he was sad to see teammates he had grown close with get traded.

BEFORE STEPHEN CURRY went out for his pregame ritual workout in Utah on Feb. 5, he emerged from the visitors locker room at the Delta Center to hug Andrew Wiggins as he was coming off the floor.
