Before the Dallas Mavericks shocked the sports world by trading superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange

New Golden State Warriors addition Jimmy Butler pushed back on people asking for him to be more "aggressive" on the court.

Jimmy Butler was hoping for a trade the last time he was on a team scheduled to visit the Brooklyn Nets. Now, Butler is on a new team and fitting in well, as the Golden State Warriors make their annual visit to the Nets on Thursday night on the one-month anniversary of his acquisition from the Miami Heat.

Prior to the trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors were 25-26 and slightly outside of the Play-In picture. All hope of competing for a championship in the West was pretty much lost and the chances of making a playoff push were fading.
