Jimmy Butler trade saga finally comes to an end as NBA star lands with shock team in yet another blockbuster deal

Yet another blockbuster NBA trade has dropped just a few hours before the league's Trade Deadline arrives. This time, one of the most prolonged trade sagas of the year has come to an end. The Miami Heat are sending superstar swingman Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for a protected first round pick, forward Andrew Wiggins and guards Dennis Schroder and Kyle Anderson, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Butler and the Heat had arrived at a stalemate in trade negotiations after the 36-year-old repeatedly demanded to be sent away from Miami in recent weeks. It ended with the team indefinitely suspending Butler as they looked to find a trade partner to move the wantaway star. Now, the deal is done and the Heat get an incredibly good package of starters and role players while Butler can try and provide Warriors star Stephen Curry with one last run at an NBA title.
