NBA World Reacts to Warriors Trading For Jimmy Butler

Well, it finally happened. Jimmy Butler has been traded away from Miami to Golden State.

After reports saying he was done with trade negotiations with the Warriors less than 24 hours ago, he must have come round and realized his options were limited.

He even signed a two-year $121M extension with the Warriors, so that means he and Steph Curry are locked in for at least the next two seasons.

Thats gotta make Dubs fans happy.

The trade seems be extremely fluid, since Shams reported that Kyle Anderson wont be going Toronto in the deal. Before then the details were as follows.

Warriors get:
Jimmy Butler

Heat get:
Andrew Wiggins
PJ Tucker
Protected 1st-round pick

Pistons get:
Lindy Waters III
Josh Richardson
2nd-round pick

Jazz get:
Dennis Schroder

Raptors get:
Kyle Anderson

UPDATE: Miami is keeping Kyle Anderson for now, sources said. So Wiggins, Tucker and Anderson are in Miami along with the Warriors protected first-rounder, Shams says.

The NBA world is reacting the news and even Butler himself:

Love the Jimmy Butler deal for the Heat. Andrew Wiggins is younger, a good defender, a way better shooter. Fits this Heat system alongside the core pieces. And a pick in the 11-18 range could net them a nice piece. All for a disgruntled player who didnt want to be there.

Jimmy Butler going to the Golden State Warriors is an awesome trade for the Warriors and Miami Heat for different reasons. With the addition of Jimmy Butler Golden State becomes a more explosive team and Steph gets a running mate that give the Warriors scoring, defense and
