Jimmy Butler headed to Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors in NAB trade involving Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder

Jimmy Butler got what he wanted. He’s being traded out of Miami and got a new contract in the process.

The Heat and the Golden State Warriors have agreed on a deal that sends Butler to the Bay Area, sources say.

Butler helped carry the Heat to the NBA Finals twice, long before a hostile breakup that saw him suspended three times by the team in January.

Golden State are making it happen by moving Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, Lindy Waters and first-round draft compensation out in the deal that awaits league approval.

Wiggins and Anderson are headed to Miami; it’s unclear if Anderson will be staying with the Heat.

Schroder is getting moved to Utah - where the Warriors, coincidentally, lost on Wednesday night - and Josh Richardson is heading from Miami to Detroit along with Waters.

Also on the move: P.J. Tucker, who was just traded to Utah and now is set to return to Miami, where he played in 2021-22.

ESPN reported that Butler has already agreed on a two-year extension with the Warriors, one that would be worth around $US113 million.

“My brother, man. I’m going to miss him, for sure,” said Heat forward Nikola Jovic, who looked up to Butler. “I think a lot of guys here will. He’s someone who did a lot for this franchise.”

“I’m really happy that he got what he wanted,” Jovic said. “That bag’s kinda really big.”

Golden State becomes Butler’s fifth team, after stints in Chicago, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Miami. His arrivals were celebrated in all four cities, and his departures weren’t exactly smooth in any of them.

With the Warriors, he joins Stephen Curry and Draymond Green - two players who were part of all four recent Golden State championship teams and have hopes of getting back to title contention again.

The Warriors had a closed-door meeting in the locker room on Wednesday as news of the trade was getting out. Golden State (25-25) wound up falling to loly-ranked Utah 131-128.

“Our guys were in the locker room getting ready to play and all of a sudden we’re saying goodbye,” coach Steve Kerr said.

Butler’s breakup with the Heat brewed for months. The primary issue was money; he was eligible for the two-year, $US113 million extension and the Heat never offered it, largely because he missed about 25 per cent of the team’s games in his Miami tenure.

The relationship was broken beyond repair at the end.
