Jimmy Butler Traded to Warriors in Blockbuster Four-Team Deal
The Jimmy Butler era in Miami has officially come to an end. The six-time All-Star is heading to the Golden State Warriors as part of a major four-team trade, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Here’s the full breakdown of the deal:
• Warriors receive: Jimmy Butler
• Heat receive: Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, P.J. Tucker, 2025 first-round pick (via GSW)
• Jazz receive: Dennis Schröder
• Pistons receive: Lindy Waters III, Josh Richardson
Originally, the Toronto Raptors were set to acquire Kyle Anderson, but he will now remain with the Heat. Per Chris Haynes, the 2025 first-round pick Miami is receiving is top-10 protected and will become unprotected in 2026 if not conveyed.
Butler isn’t just getting a fresh start—he’s also secured a payday. As part of the trade, he will decline his 2025-26 player option and sign a two-year, $121 million extension with the Warriors, keeping him under contract through the 2026-27 season.
The trade follows months of escalating tension between Butler and the Heat, culminating in multiple suspensions, including an indefinite one that all but guaranteed his departure. A split seemed inevitable, and now, Butler will look to write his next chapter in Golden State.
