Part 3/8:
As teams weigh their options, it has become evident that the Warriors and Mavericks, both struggling themselves, might not be suitable landing spots for Butler. Golden State's front office has been vocal about the need to add more talent, yet they appear hesitant to engage in a trade that would require breaking up their core more than necessary.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks are dealing with their own injury issues, including stars Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. The idea of trading key players like Klay Thompson or PJ Washington for Butler feels implausible given their current lineup struggles.
