If it weren’t for a teary-eyed meeting with Miami Heat president Pat Riley that Jimmy Butler reportedly found “unhinged and disturbing,” the six-time All-Star might not be a Golden State Warrior right now.

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.
