The Golden State Warriors made a huge move before the NBA trade deadline, acquiring Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler to enhance their playoff hopes. Before All-Star Weekend, the Warriors had won three of their previous four games with Butler in the lineup.
However, they remain 28-27 overall and are currently seeded 10th in the Western Conference. Regardless of their situation, forward Draymond Green made a big remark on Sunday night, firmly predicting that the Warriors will win the NBA championship.
Restored confidence: – We are going to win the championship
“I think we were kind of headed in the wrong direction, thinking we’d figured it out and never figuring it out,” Green said of the pre-trade Warriors. “Since [Butler] has been here, we’ve gone into every game expecting to win. That goes a long way in this league.
He’s restored our confidence, and I believe we’ll win the championship.” “I apologize.” When pressed to repeat his statement, Draymond clarified, “I said I think we’re going to win a championship, but I lied.” “We are going to win the championship.”

Guarantee we’ll win the title
Curry was asked in respect to Draymond Green’s controversial statements after the All-Star Game and offered his opinion to them.
“I’m excited,” Curry stated. “I got Draymond on the telecast to guarantee we’ll win the title. I enjoy the anticipation and having something to strive for. “He’s definitely starting a fire. But, all joking aside, I believe we finished the last four games 3-1, and there is still a lot to work out, with perhaps 27 games left to make a push.
All we want is to get into a playoff series and have a fighting chance to be a tough out against anyone in the West, and we have a great opportunity to accomplish that.

Current season provides a different challenge
“I am looking forward to the task. Every night is like a playoff game, and it typically brings out the best in you.
Curry and Green have won four NBA titles together, the most recent coming three seasons ago against the Boston Celtics, where Curry won his first NBA Finals MVP award.
However, this season provides a different challenge, and if the Warriors wish to avoid the play-in tournament, where they presently sit, they have work to do with 27 games remaining.
