It took quite a while, but the Miami Heat finally free their hands of Jimmy Butler. The surprising deal that sends the problematic guard to the Bay Area ends a months-long saga that saw Jimmy Buckets suspended during the final days of his Miami stint.

Johnson called it an "awesome trade" for the Heat, who pried away Andrew Wiggins and a first-round draft pick from the Warriors. Just as important, they rid themselves of a player in Butler who had been suspended three times in recent weeks for conduct detrimental to the team after demanding a trade from Heat president Pat Riley.
