Can Jimmy Butler fuel a Warriors playoff run like prior midseason acquisitions for Bay Area teams?

Jimmy Butler has a long road ahead to become the next Marco Scutaro.

Put together a list of the top in-season acquisitions of Bay Area sports teams and Scutaro’s name will be somewhere near the top, with the iconic shot of the Venezuelan second baseman looking skyward with his mouth open as he tasted the raindrops at AT&T Park.

Butler’s story is still to be written, although his impact since arriving in a three-team trade on Feb. 5 from the Miami Heat turned the Warriors from mediocre to playoff-worthy.
