Could Warriors take page out of Moneyball, recreate injured Jimmy Butler in the aggregate?

DALLAS – Ask Steph Curry, Draymond Green or Steve Kerr the same question, and they would all give you the same answer. 

Is there any person on the team who can replace fallen star Jimmy Butler, who was lost for the season with a torn ACL on Monday evening? 

Of course not, as Butler’s blend of savvy scoring, versatile defense and underrated playmaking make up a rare package few possess. The 36-year-old averaged 20 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists while guarding every position but center in 38 starts.
