On the most recent episode of The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis, Green recalled the bittersweet message Curry told him after they learned of the trade for Butler. "Steph said to me in Utah after the trade, 'Man, It's crazy because it just dawned on me that, this is it," Green recalled. "This is the last ride."

Even the superstars need that reinforcement, and that's how Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry feels with Jimmy Butler on his team. When Butler was traded to the Warriors, it sparked some concern from outsiders. However, the immediate impacts are too evident to deny.

The Jimmy Butler era with the Golden State Warriors got off to a strong start Saturday night with a 132-111 win over the Chicago Bulls. The Warriors ended up running away with the win, but it wasn't without some theatrics after they fell behind by as many as 24 points in the first half.
