While Jimmy Butler may view the Golden State Warriors as a potential destination, the feeling does not seem to be mutual. According to ESPN reporter Marc Spears on Tuesday (January 7), the Warriors consider the center position a higher priority for the team. As a result, the franchise is essentially out of the running for Butler<\/a>.<\/p>

“I’m hearing that the Warriors literally want to go bigger than Butler, and what I mean by that is they’re one of the most undersized teams in the league. So they’re trying to get a big guy to go alongside Draymond Green”<\/em>, Spears said on Tuesday’s NBA Today<\/em>.<\/p>

Spears also mentioned other names, such as Nikola Vucevic of the Chicago Bulls, Walker Kessler and John Collins of the Utah Jazz, and Jonas Valanciunas of the Washington Wizards. However, he added that the Warriors do not want to include Andrew Wiggins or Jonathan Kuminga in any trade.<\/p>

“People on their list include Nikola Vučević, who has probably been the top guy on that list… Keep an eye on some guys like Walker Kessler and John Collins with the Utah Jazz. Jonas Valančiūnas with the Washington Wizards. But the Warriors don’t want to trade Jonathan Kuminga or Andrew Wiggins. … Right now the Warriors seem much more interested in adding a big to go alongside Green with this team than another shooting guard”,<\/em> the veteran reporter further added.<\/p>
