- Following Jimmy Butler's season-ending ACL injury, the Golden State Warriors are committed to building around Steph Curry and Butler and do not plan to move him before the Feb 5 trade deadline.
- Refusing to entertain trade talk, Curry said `I’m not talking about that right now, we’re just trying to win a game on the road` after the 123-115 loss, ignoring growing chatter.

- Butler's absence has created an opening, prompting Steve Kerr to play Jonathan Kuminga more; Golden State is using the next two weeks to assess Kuminga, who requested a trade earlier this month.
- Front-Office voices argue for patience, as Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy believes Butler’s game will age well and medical advances create cautious optimism for his return next year.
