The Golden State Warriors enter the offseason with multiple key decisions to make as they try to upgrade their roster and chase another championship next season.
Golden State will try to upgrade their roster around their veteran core of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, who were able to help them reach the second round of the playoffs before Curry’s hamstring injury cost them the series.
Of course, Butler’s addition from the Miami Heat at the trade deadline turned the Warriors’ season around as he made them into a legitimate contender.

With Butler now signed with Golden State through the 2026-27 season, he is now a key part of the Warriors alongside Curry and Green as the franchise looks for upgrades around them this summer.
While Golden State will be busy upgrading their roster in the offseason, Butler will reportedly also have a busy summer as well.
According to The Athletic’s Matt Woosnam, a group of sport and entertainment executives, which includes Butler, is expected to make an offer in excess of $200 million to purchase Eagle Football’s 43% stake in Premier League soccer club Crystal Palace.
This is massive news for the Premier League, as well as Butler, who has had a successful career in business outside of the NBA.
Of course, Butler is the owner of Big Face Coffee, which he started in 2020 during the NBA Bubble and he officially launched the company in 2021.

Butler has also made investments in other areas, including real estate, and he is now joining an ownership group to purchase Crystal Palace.
This is a major move for Butler, but it first has to be accepted as there are other groups making offers as well, including New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.
Because of this, it looks as though it will be a busy offseason for Butler both on and off the court.
