The Golden State Warriors being interested in acquiring an All-Star-caliber wing scorer is no surprise. The big revelation is that they're reconsidering players who were previously thought to be deal breakers — Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat and Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls.

The Athletic reported that the Warriors were initially reluctant to engage the Heat on a Jimmy Butler trade due to "price tag and fit," though "there’s been a noticeable increase in intrigue" in the All-Star from the team lately.

As the clock ticks toward the deadline, the Warriors have floated a protected first-rounder as a sweetener in potential deals.
