On December 14, Beijing time, NBA reporter Brett Siegel brought new market developments, including the part about the Warriors, he mentioned that the team had long been interested in Butler, and listed other targets that the Warriors were concerned about, and he pointed out that the Warriors were not interested in bringing in Ingram and LaVine, as for James, his agent Rich Paul made it clear that he did not want James to go to the Warriors. For the Warriors, both Butler and James will be difficult to trade.

According to the report, long before the Warriors sent Klay away, they had asked the Heat about Butler, but the Heat said at the time that they were not interested in trading Butler. In the current situation, Butler is willing to go to the Warriors, and the Warriors also want to add the All-Star to Curry and Dream, but to match the annual salary of about 50 million, the Warriors need to give up several valuable players.

Wiggins was asked to be included in the Butler trade, but the Warriors were not happy, believing Wiggins to be an important part of the team, and it is reported that in addition to Wiggins, Payton II or Hield also need to be included. In addition, Kuminga and a first-round pick are bound to be requested by the Heat, who could have either Richardson or Burks attached.

Such a trade would allow the Warriors to keep the likes of Moody and Podemski, but their perimeter defense could be problematic if they lose the likes of Wiggins, Kuminga and Payton.

In addition to Butler, the Warriors are also interested in Schroder, who is valued at two or three second-round picks by league sources. Among the Nets' Johnson, Finney-Smith and Schroder,The Warriors are most interested in Schroder.

Other potential trade targets discussed by the Warriors include the Timberwolves guardDiVincenzo, Wave Trail Blazers defensive wingSebuleand two Raptors playersOlynykandBruce Brown。 The Raptors are willing to trade the two veterans, while the Timberwolves have not said they will include DiVincenzo in trade talks.

Separately, league sources say Ingram and LaVine are out of the Warriors' radar. Ingram's market remains deserted, and his recent ankle injury hasn't helped him leave the New Orleans Pelicans.

James' agent, Rich Paul, has made it clear that he doesn't want James to go to the Warriors, and James has also told Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and management that he is only focused on staying with the Lakers to challenge for championships. That mindset hasn't changed to this day, with James continuing to play for the Lakers, sources said. Even if James were willing to go to the Warriors, it would be nearly impossible for the Warriors and Lakers to complete a trade for James without the help of two or three teams.
