The team needs to score 40 points! In the end, it still failed to fulfill its promise. Was Butler overrated?

After the Warriors were eliminated, Butler became the target of attack by fans. On the other hand, now, is Butler worthy of his own value and overvalued? Riley, the god-calling calculator, chose to give up Butler. If you look at it from the current perspective, it may be the right choice. Let’s talk about the conclusion first and then the process. The author believes that Butler’s performance is not worthy of his worth of nearly 60 million.

To be honest, when I saw Curry was injured, I actually knew that the Warriors would go home early to fish this season. There will definitely be fans saying that as long as the Warriors win a game and wait until Curry returns, there may be a great chance. Is this really the case? First of all, let alone whether Curry can come back from G6. Even if he comes back, Curry missed so many games and had the risk of hamstring injury. He could not take on too important tasks. At this time, another question is how much strength Butler contributed to the team.

Let's start talking about Butler today. When we were in the Heat, Butler was not a player with too much attention. Although he could occasionally play a few good games, most of the time, Butler's data is not very impressive, which gives people the illusion that we only see Butler performing well, and then forget some mediocre games. Of course, there must be people saying that Butler led the Heat to the finals twice, of course, it cannot be denied that Butler is indeed powerful, but there is actually a clear gap in strength between the east and the west. From this point of view, the author believes that the component of luck should be slightly larger.

When Curry was injured and retreated, Butler said that the team could score 40 points if they needed it, but G5 didn't dare to take action, and he couldn't even score 20 points. Why did this happen? In fact, it is largely due to the Timberwolves' defense. Butler is a retro player, without excellent outside ability, and more often he uses misaligned singles skills to force the inside. Obviously, the Timberwolves have figured out Butler's offensive methods, allowing Gobert to guard the inside. Butler could not find any opportunity to attack at all, and could only rely on sporadic free throws to support the game's data.

In fact, Butler and Leonard have similar effects. Looking at Butler's career, there are often various injuries in the regular season and rarely play in the full regular season. It may be understood as a reserved physical fitness and waiting for the playoffs to make efforts. However, I have a question to ask everyone, if Butler chooses to rest in the regular season, who will take responsibility? Is it necessary to let Curry over-consuming himself? Just like this season, Curry's injury is actually tiring to some extent. I still haven't done it to count on Butler to save the game.

Of course, we do not deny Butler's ability, but do what is right according to his value. If Butler is like Harden, a player with an annual salary of about 30 million yuan and he can play such data, the author will definitely give him the greatest respect, but don't forget that Butler is a player with an annual salary of nearly 60 million yuan, so he cannot judge Butler based on his regular performance. He should have performed better. Obviously, Butler does not have such strength. On the contrary, Harden next door will encounter various attacks if he doesn't perform well in a game, completely ignoring the gap in value between the two.

Of course, Butler has helped the Warriors quite a lot. After all, without Butler, the Warriors are likely not able to play at this stage. Defensive, offensive, and singles skills are pretty good. Perhaps the only thing that makes the fans angry is that he did not make his worth of 60 million and did not really help Curry.
