Jimmy Butler is headed to the Golden State Warriors, AP source says
Jimmy Butler has gotten his wish. He’s being traded out of Miami.
The Heat and the Golden State Warriors have agreed on a deal that sends Butler to the Bay Area, a person with knowledge of the talks said Wednesday. The trade ends a Miami era for Butler that will be remembered first for two trips to the NBA Finals and then three suspensions toward the end of a hostile breakup.
Golden State is making it happen by moving Andrew Wiggins of Vaughan, Ont., Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and draft compensation out in the deal, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade has not gotten league approval.
It wasn’t immediately clear if all three of those players were ending up in Miami.
