SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors<\/a> general manager Mike Dunleavy told reporters Tuesday night that he has no plans to move Jimmy Butler<\/a>‘s contract before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, despite Butler’s torn ACL and the team’s desperate need for a roster upgrade to realistically compete in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

“I don’t envision that,” Dunleavy said. “Now that you’ve brought it up, I’d say my vision for him is to give us a boost next year the same way he did last year when he arrived.”<\/p>\n

The Warriors had a lower profile but relatively similar situation manifest last regular season. Veteran guard De’Anthony Melton<\/a> tore his ACL in November. In December, Dunleavy traded Melton’s contract to the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> for Dennis Schroder<\/a>. In February, he flipped Schroder as part of the package to the Miami Heat<\/a> to acquire Butler.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Butler tore his right ACL on an awkward landing against the Heat. The injury ends his season, and his absence, as Dunleavy admitted, is expected to bleed into next regular season.<\/p>\n

Butler is owed $54.1 million this season and $56.8 million next in the final year of his current deal.<\/p>\n
