Jimmy Butler Traded to Golden State Warriors in Blockbuster Deal

Miami Sends Playoff Icon West in Stunning Shake-Up

SAN FRANCISCO — In a surprising turn of events, the Miami Heat have traded All-Star forward Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors. The deal, finalized ahead of the trade deadline, sends Butler to the Bay Area in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, P.J. Tucker, and a protected first-round pick. Liberty Ballers

Butler, 35, reunites with former teammate Draymond Green and joins a Warriors squad looking to make another championship run. The move comes after reports of tension between Butler and the Heat's front office, culminating in a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. Liberty Ballers+1The Times of India+1

“I want a ring,” Butler told The Athletic shortly after the deal. “And I think I can get it in Golden State.”

The Heat, meanwhile, appear ready to reset around Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, moving off Butler’s massive contract and acquiring assets for the future.
