The Warriors were hesitant about whether to re-sign Butler with a maximum salary, and the media revealed the key to the executive's decision

After the NBA Warriors traded for star forward Butler, they successfully renewed his contract for 2 years and $112 million, and so far they have a 16-4 record, which makes them return to the top of the West, but before that, the Warriors were actually hesitant to renew Butler with the maximum salary, and the media reports pointed out the key to making the Warriors executives make up their minds.

"The Athletic" reporter Slater reported on the 25th that before the Warriors completed the contract extension with Butler, the senior management had a heated discussion on Butler's contract extension, and even considered offering a non-maximum salary contract to Butler for a time, until Warriors manager Dunleavy supported Butler and packed a ticket for him as a player, convincing the senior management to give him a contract extension with a maximum salary would be regarded by Butler as a signal that the team trusted him.

Judging from the current results, the current relationship between the Warriors and Butler is very good, but from the perspective of his career, the chemistry and record he generated when he joined a new team in the past were excellent, but in the end, after a period of time, there are often breaks down with the club and even teammates, and whether the Warriors can continue to maintain a good relationship with Butler in the future will be the key to whether the Warriors can continue to break through from the West in the future, and even win the championship with Curry again.
