Jimmy Butler is reportedly joining Golden State in exchange for a multi-asset package centered around Andrew Wiggins.
After weeks of internal turmoil, the Heat agreed to a massive multi-team trade that will send six-time All-Star forward Jimmy Butler to the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round pick, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Wednesday.
Golden State will additionally trade Dennis Schröder to Utah, while P.J. Tucker rejoins Miami via the Jazz after a previous one-season stint, according to Charania. Lindy Waters III and Josh Richardson join Detroit via the Warriors and Heat, respectively, to round things out.
