Warriors Eye Anthony Davis in Butler Swap to Save Title Run

Bleacher Report proposes a blockbuster: Golden State would acquire Anthony Davis, while Dallas would receive Jimmy Butler and two future first-round picks (2026 top-4 protected and 2028). The trade is framed as a chance for the Warriors to add a true co-star for Curry and shore up size, rebounding, and rim protection, while Dallas would push a rebuild around Cooper Flagg with substantial draft capital. Risks include Davis’s injury history and high salary, and Butler’s expiring deal, but it’s presented as a bold, desperate bid to salvage the Warriors’ season and reshape Dallas’ future.

Warriors at a crossroads: Butler injury reshapes moves as Kuminga trade chatter persists

Golden State GM Mike Dunleavy spoke before the Raptors game about Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL tear, Kuminga’s trade request, and the team’s direction. He indicated Butler likely won’t be traded and the Warriors will evaluate the market ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, weighing the value of future picks against the chance to contend now. Kuminga’s trade demand appears tepid to the market, but the front office remains open to meaningful deals, relying on Kerr’s system and improving young players plus new pieces like Horford and Melton to stay competitive.

Kuminga Poised for Bigger Role as Butler Is Out

With Jimmy Butler sidelined by a season-ending ACL tear for the Heat, Steve Kerr said Jonathan Kuminga could re-enter the Warriors’ rotation, signaling a potentially larger bench role as Kuminga’s fit improves without Butler. Kuminga has missed 16 games amid a back injury and ongoing trade rumors, and while Kerr’s comment is notable, it’s unclear if the front office–Kuminga relationship has stabilized enough for a regular rotation role.

Butler Sidelined for Season by Right-Knee ACL Tear

Warriors forward Jimmy Butler will miss the rest of the season after an MRI revealed a torn ACL in his right knee, ending his 2025-26 campaign. The 36-year-old exited Monday's game with an awkward knee injury; Golden State cannot apply for a disabled player exception due to the deadline having passed. Butler was averaging 20.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists this season, and his absence complicates a Warriors team already navigating aging and injuries.
