The Jimmy Butler saga is finally, and mercifully, over. The Miami Heat have reportedly traded him to the Golden State Warriors as part of a five-team

Jimmy Butler said he's "happy to be playing basketball again" in his introductory press conference with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. He was emphatic about his singular focus of winning a championship while downplaying the idea that the Warriors were not his preferred destination after all reporting had indicated Butler preferred joining the Phoenix Suns as he angled for an exit from the Miami Heat.

The Warriors put their two-timelines approach on the backburner and found Stephen Curry a legitimate co-star by trading for Heat forward Jimmy Butler.
