Jimmy Butler signed a two-year, $121 million extension this offseason, securing his role alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. While in China on August 6, Butler likened Curry to Batman, himself to Robin and Green to the ‘Batmobile’ in a widely shared Instagram post. Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield publicly endorsed Butler’s metaphor by commenting with supportive emojis under his post. Golden State has paused on signing Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton until Jonathan Kuminga resolves his contract holdout. The franchise remains committed to building around its veteran nucleus and is awaiting Kuminga’s decision before addressing its depth needs.
