2. Jimmy Butler (Sell)

Grinding his way up from being a deep reserve player to a perennial All-Star, Jimmy Butler has one of the highest work ethics in the entire league. But is he worth the trouble?

In the last few seasons, we have seen Butler demand a trade twice. First from the Chicago Bulls, even after he received the reigns of the team when the Bulls traded away Derrick Rose. Then again when he grew frustrated at the young core of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Now, he is set to become a free agent. The question is, how many teams are going to jump at offering him a big contract with his history of flip-flopping between teams?

There is no doubt that the Warriors have a successful environment set in place that would give even Butler a hard time to complain about. Furthermore, the Dubs could definitely use his talents as he is a four-time All-Star for a reason.

In the end, the Warriors are better off looking for a different player to spend their money on. He simply isn’t worth the risk.
