Slater: Dunleavy guaranteed the deal to extend Butler s contract in advance. Curry called it radical but reasonable.

Today, Warriors reporter Anthony Slater wrote an article talking about the beginning and end of the Warriors' offseason.

On the night when the Warriors traded for Butler, Curry and Dream Chaser had an unforgettable conversation in the Jazz visiting locker room. Dunleavy (the Warriors general manager), who had worked with Butler in Chicago, guaranteed him, believing that he could integrate into the team, and gave him a two-year maximum salary extension contract. In the end, the deal was completed with only a future first-round pick (2025 draft pick), ensuring that the team's future draft resources will not be restricted.

Curry called this approach "radical but reasonable."

Before the trade deadline last season, the Warriors acquired Butler and extended Butler's contract in advance for $120 million over two years.
