Jimmy Butler's long and messy divorce with the Miami Heat is finally over after his old team traded the six-time NBA All-Star to the Golden State

A catalyst for Jimmy Butler's trade to the Warriors was an "unhinged" meeting where Miami Heat president Pat Riley let some tears flow.

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.
