JBIII on San Francisco Bay Culture vs Biscayne Bay Culture

"He does feel like this organization is better than any other organization he’s been a part of. But I’m telling you it’s different this time. I haven’t sensed the same feeling he’s had when he went to Philly, when he went to Miami. This is different for Jimmy Butler going to Golden State. He’s staying late for shootarounds. He’s staying late for practices. He’s spending so much time in the training room, the meal room. He’s going above and beyond to ingratiate himself with the Warriors right now.” --Shams Charania

Butler told The Athletic's Marcus Thompson II and Sam Amick after the Warriors' road win against the Sacramento Kings last Friday that his fit in the Bay Area is due to his clearly defined role on his new team.

“I see my role clearer than ever. And that’s the thing. Here, everybody knows their role, and they know where the ball is supposed to go, at what time in the game, and that’s a huge difference-maker. Ain’t nobody fighting for shots. Ain’t nobody doing none of that.

"You get the ball where it needs to go. In the fourth quarter, you slow the ball down, take good shots, take care of the ball, and that’s what it takes to win in this league at a high level. They’ve done it a shit ton of times. This is what I’ve been trying to do in the past X amount of years."

Players not knowing their roles has been a constant friction point with the Tinkerer.
