Wednesday night saw the team officialize a deal to send Butler to the Golden State Warriors, who will send Andrew Wiggins to South Beach, where he’ll play alongside newly minted All-Star guard Tyler Herro, five-time All-Defensive selection Bam Adebayo and a host of Heat talent eager to expand their respective roles.

The clash pits perhaps the NBA's most disgruntled superstar against a franchise that won't bend to his will. And everyone in the NBA is watching.

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.
