Jimmy Butler was traded to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night in a deal that made the NBA world collectively shrug. After the shock and awe surrounding the Luka Doncic deal, seeing Jimmy Butler finally get moved after weeks of in-fighting with the Miami Heat, it just didn't move the needle the same way.
Among those who were not impressed with the move or convinced that it would take the Warriors where they wanted to go is ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. On First Take Thursday morning he told his co-workers that this was no mega-deal. In fact, the Warriors might have just done it for financial reasons.
