- Warriors land Jimmy Butler in blockbuster NBA trade dal, enhancing their roster with a proven star.
- The deal involves multiple teams, including the Heat and Jazz.
- Andrew Wiggins and Kyle Anderson are sent to Miami.
- Dennis Schroder goes to Utah as part of the trade.
The Golden State Warriors have made a significant move by acquiring Jimmy Butler in a major trade, bringing his time with the Miami Heat to an end.
This decision follows failed negotiations for Kevin Durant, who showed no desire to return to Golden State. The trade involves several teams, including the Heat, Warriors, Jazz, and Pistons.
Butler’s exit from Miami wraps up a challenging period during which he requested a trade due to conflicts with the organization. He leaves as the Heat’s all-time leader in triple-doubles and played a key role in their two NBA Finals appearances over his six seasons with the team.
In return for Butler, the Warriors traded Andrew Wiggins and Kyle Anderson to Miami, along with a top-10 protected first-round pick for 2025. Additionally, Dennis Schroder was sent to Utah as part of this multi-team trade. The Jazz then returned P.J. Tucker to Miami. Meanwhile, Lindy Waters III and Josh Richardson were traded from Golden State and Miami, respectively, to Detroit.
Jimmy Butler has been traded to the Warriors as part of a multi-team deal. Butler has also signed a two-year, $121M extension with Golden State.

As part of this deal, Jimmy Butler will forgo his $52 million player option for the upcoming season and will sign a new two-year contract extension valued at either $111 million or reportedly $121 million, according to some sources. This agreement secures his place with the Warriors through the 2026-27 season.
Butler’s arrival greatly enhances Golden State’s lineup, teaming him up with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Despite recent difficulties for Butler on a personal level and challenges faced by his former team, this trade sets both him and the Warriors up for a promising future in professional basketball.
