The Golden State Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat in the latest of the NBA’s blockbuster moves before Thursday’s trade deadline.
Butler and the Warriors managed to work it out after earlier reports stated that the Heat forward wouldn’t sign an extension in Golden State if he were traded there. Not long after the trade was announced, Butler would sign a two-year deal worth $121 million, making him one of the highest-paid players on the Warriors’ payroll.
