Warriors monster four-team Jimmy Butler trade idea lands $149 million two-time Finals MVP

“Plus, there is a chance Bradley Beal ends up being helpful upon returning from his hip injury. Even after landing Butler, the Warriors needed another scorer who could also handle the ball. Between Beal and Kawhi, they're netting two more.”

In Favale’s full trade proposal, the Washington Wizards would receive the No. 3 overall pick and Indiana's 2029 first-round pick via the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors would receive Leonard and Beal, the Clippers would receive Butler and the No. 1 overall pick, and the Memphis Grizzlies would receive the No. 5 overall pick and No. 11 overall pick.

Although acquiring Leonard (34) wouldn’t help Golden State shake the ‘Olden Warriors’ label they earned last offseason (Butler, Stephen Curry, Al Horford, and Draymond Green are all over 35 years old), it would land them a superstar veteran forward who has experience doing the one thing the Dubs are yearning for: reaching the promised land.

Leonard has won two championships as a top playmaking option and possesses a dynamic, polished two-way skill set that would instantly catapult the organization into title contention.

The San Diego State product averaged 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.9 steals per game with the Clippers in 65 regular-season contests this season.

The Warriors shouldn’t dismiss Leonard’s recent injury struggles, but he’s unquestionably a trade target that makes sense for the seven-time NBA champions this summer.
