With a playoff shooting rate of 35%, the Warriors traded him too wisely, and Butler was indeed much better than him

The NBA playoffs continue, and the Thunder are currently the first in the league to advance to the next round. On the Eastern side, the Heat are currently in a 0-3 deficit after losing to the Cavaliers today, and it is basically a matter of time before they are out.

The Heat made it to the playoffs through a tenacious play-in battle. However, after entering the playoffs, it was found that when facing the Cavaliers, the gap between them was very obvious. After today's loss to the Cavaliers, Tyler Siro couldn't hide his sense of loss, and even thought that if Butler was on the team, maybe they wouldn't be in this situation at the moment.

So how did Wiggins perform in the playoffs as a trade replacement for Butler? When we look at his stats, you'll see that Wiggins' playoff performance this season has been pretty dismal. In the playoffs, Wiggins averaged just 11.3 points per game while shooting just 35 percent from the field. Compared to his performance in the regular season, it can be said that it has dropped significantly. Wiggins has always been uncompetitive, and if you look closely at the style of play between Wiggins and Butler, you will see that Wiggins, with more physical talent, is very soft when he hits the basket, and he doesn't have Butler's toughness.

It's a matter of character, Wiggins has played this very soft style of play no matter what team he has played for in his career, and it doesn't make him a superstar, even though he has a historic level of physical talent. So the Warriors' timely stop-loss option to trade Wiggins for Butler was a very smart choice. Now it looks like it will change the fate of the Warriors' playoff season for years to come. With Butler, the Warriors' win rate is very high, and that's the immediate change. So we really admire Dunleavy's decision, he really changed the foundation of the Warriors. Butler is indeed a far better player than Wiggins.
