The book seemed to close Miami Heat’s fractured relationship with the star goalkeeper Jimmy Butler when he was traded by the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday evening.
The heat agreed to exchange Butler to the Warriors for Andrew Wiggins and a protected choice in the first round, ESPN reported. The Pistons de Detroit were also involved in the agreement and would have acquired Lindy Waters III and Josh Richardson.

Miami suspended the butler indefinitely after leaving the shot after being informed of the team’s plan to use it for the bench for the moment, according to ESPN. Butler did not like the plan and came out.
He was initially suspended for seven games due to his prejudice to the team. He returned to play three games, but his second suspension came after missing a team flight for a road trip in January. He was put on the bench for two games after that.
Butler is not satisfied with his role on heat, and he asked for a job from the organization. At the beginning, the president of the Pat Riley team said that the organization would not take from Butler calls. However, this state of mind has changed in recent weeks and led to the agreement reported on Wednesday.

It was on average 17 points and 5.2 rebounds in 25 games. It was also one of the main reasons why Miami was able to make two appearances in the NBA final since the team acquired it before the 2019-20 season.
Butler signed an extension of $ 121 million over two years after agreement on the Golden State trade, ESPN reported.
Miami acquired a handful of players in the agreement. Wiggins was almost the MVP of the NBA final in 2022 when the Warriors won the title.

Dennis Schroder and Kyle Anderson, who was initially reported to heat, are in motion elsewhere, added ESPN. Schroder will go to Utah Jazz and Kyle Anderson will go to the Raptors of Toronto.
