The Golden State Warriors seem to have turned things around with their big swing at the trade deadline. Many people didn't think the Warriors' trade for Jimmy Butler III from the Miami Heat was a needle-moving deal, but Butler and Golden State have proved everyone wrong so far.

The Warriors represent big challenges. Already having a matchup nightmare in the form of Stephen Curry, Golden State now has Jimmy Butler to turn to on the offensive end. Acquired

Since trading for Jimmy Butler, the Golden State Warriors are 7-1 and have jumped up from 11th place in the Western Conference to seventh, firmly in the Play-In Tournament picture and just a half-game behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the sixth seed, allowing them to avoid the Play-In altogether.
