Trading conjecture: Butler vs. Durant, who agrees and who opposes?

The NBA Finals are in full swing, and on the other side, the Golden State Warriors have been at home for more than a month.

In the middle of the season, the Warriors traded to Butler with Wiggins as the main body, and Butler's arrival gave the whole team a shot of a heart-warming agent. In the final regular season, he entered the playoffs with a record of 7th in the West, and even finished the following score in the first round, eliminating the Rockets in the tiebreak.

Unfortunately, Curry suffered an injury in the second round and stopped at the Timberwolves. But overall, the Warriors' performance this season is still unsatisfactory.

As we all know, before the trading deadline, the Warriors had a trade scandal with Durant, but in the end the deal failed, so they chose Butler as the second best choice.

So, if the Warriors reach the deal for Butler to Durant in the offseason, will the Warriors' vacuum level be improved?

Let's first look at the technical characteristics of Butler and Durant.

Butler takes "hard relief from mid-range shots + fouls + defensive oppression" as the core, and cooperates with top football players and playoff explosiveness to form a practical technical system that does not rely on talent, which is synonymous with inspiration in the league.

After joining the Warriors in the middle of this season, he quickly integrated into the Warriors' passing and cutting system. Not only did he liberate Curry on the offensive end, but he could also take over the game at critical moments. He can be said to be a perfect second-in-command player suitable for Curry.

And Durant's biggest feature is the historical top shooting feel + misplaced singles + guard ball control. It is the ultimate scorer for plug and play. Because of his tough performance at critical moments, fans are called "Death".

In the years of the Warriors, whenever the Warriors couldn't start the situation, his unsolved singles became the most relied on scoring method. He also won 2 championships + 2FMVP, and his cooperation with the Warriors is unpleasant.

If you look at it this way, Durant seems to be a stronger player.

But is it necessary for the Warriors to be strong? Not necessarily.

What was the reason why Durant left the Warriors? Is it because Green shouted the saying "We are the championship before you come"? Is the famous Green formula? This is actually just a fuse.

After all, Durant and the Warriors' pass-through system are not actually suitable. Who is Durant? Since you can score points by ignoring defense, why bother to run through those complicated tactics?

As the depth of the Warriors' bench became thinner and thinner at that time, and no longer could cover up the problem between the two, Durant finally decided to leave the Warriors.

Butler, for the time being, there is no compatibility issue. He is even a catalyst for the Warriors' passing and cutting system. Because of his existence, the Warriors' passing and cutting can run smoother.

So, using Butler as a bargaining chip to exchange for Durant does not seem to be a good choice.

Of course, Durant himself has no intention of returning to Golden State.

Warriors reporter TK was asked in an interview that "Durant rejected the trade proposal to join the Warriors in February last year. What's going on?" He said:

Durant is a wanderer. He has experienced his Warriors' career, with parts he likes and parts he doesn't like. After leaving, he never looked back. Can the Warriors convince him to reconsider his return? Of course, they might try their best. But I don't think it will succeed. Durant either stays in the sun or embarks on the next new journey.

For the Warriors who are determined to return to the top, retaining Butler, a "catalyst" that has proven adaptability, and continuing to focus on Curry Butler's core framework is far more wise and realistic choice than chasing a former "death" who is stronger but not necessarily suitable and has no intention of being here. The strong melon is not sweet, and the adaptive gears can drive the team to go further.
