Golden State Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler are heading into their first full season together, and the chemistry is already showing—both on the court and on Instagram.
The Warriors guard dropped a three-word comment under Butler’s recent Instagram post, where the veteran forward shared a photo slideshow from Wuhan, China, shouting out Draymond Green, Buddy Hield, and the rest of the team. Curry simply replied: “On the way” — complete with a celebration emoji.
That’s it. Just three words. But coming from Curry, they carried weight. A sign of what’s building in Golden State—and perhaps a warning to the rest of the West.
Golden State Got a Boost When Butler Arrived
Before Butler landed in the Bay, the Warriors were floundering at 25–26. After the trade, they went 23–8 to close the regular season, finishing 48–34 and climbing out of Play-In territory.
The Warriors even stole Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But after Curry went down with a hamstring injury, Golden State dropped the next four. It was a brutal ending—but not one that erased what this new core had shown.
Butler, who many doubted would gel with the Warriors’ culture, has embraced his role fully. And with Curry back healthy, the duo will enter 2025–26 with a chance to run it back.

From the moment the trade happened, skeptics wondered if Butler could shift from alpha dog in Miami to second option behind Curry. Others pointed to his history of tension with teammates—something Green is no stranger to either, considering past spats with Kevin Durant and Jordan Poole.
But instead of chaos, the pairing has been calm. No headlines. No problems. Just basketball.
Butler continues to send the right signals. His IG post radiated excitement, and Curry’s comment only doubled down on that energy. The two have built something fast—and their brief playoff run hinted at what it could look like over a full season.
Warriors Know the Clock Is Ticking
Curry turns 38 next year. Green’s window is shrinking. This core doesn’t have forever. That’s why every moment, every message—even one as simple as “on the way”—feels like a rallying cry.
The Warriors are gearing up for one last push. And if Butler keeps buying in, Golden State just might have enough left in the tank.
