Jimmy Butler said he's "happy to be playing basketball again" in his introductory press conference with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. He was emphatic about his singular focus of winning a championship while downplaying the idea that the Warriors were not his preferred destination after all reporting had indicated Butler preferred joining the Phoenix Suns as he angled for an exit from the Miami Heat.

Steve Kerr believes Jimmy Butler will “settle” the Warriors down in clutch moments. Called the collapse in Utah last night a good example: “Ten-point lead with three minutes left, I’m confident we close out that game with Jimmy.”

With each new franchise, Butler brings wins and, at times, controversy. But if it means a return to the mountaintop, Golden State is prepared for both. Melissa Rohlin has the scoop.
