What to know: We’ve known for a while that Jimmy Butler had played his last game in a Miami Heat uniform, yesterday he found his new home: The Golden State Warriors!

The Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroeder, Kyle Anderson, and a protected first-round pick! There’s four teams involved in this trade, but the skinny of it is that Jimmy is on the Warriors, Wiggins and ‘Slo-Mo’ Kyle Anderson are going to Miami, and Dennis Schroeder is heading to Utah.

If you’re looking at this from Miami’s perspective, they can’t be too mad at all…right? From the outside, it seemed like Jimmy was just a distraction this past season and was begging to leave, so getting anything at all for a guy begging to leave is great. Wiggins can have an instant impact. This Miami team may not have any All-NBA caliber players, but Miami has always been a gritty team, and they have a whole lot of grit right now.

Golden State on the other hand has been looking for a true running mate for Steph, and this could do the trick. Jimmy is a proven killer in the postseason, and both of them being on the court together will most certainly take some pressure off of the other. A locker room with Draymond and Jimmy both will be fun to monitor, but this is no doubt another blockbuster trade in what will go down as one of the most memorable trade deadlines (weeks) of all time!

The landscape of the Western Conference has had seismic shifts. The Thunder still seems to be the favorite but with little postseason success. with their young core, who knows what will happen. All I know is this, we will be in for some postseason FIREWORKS!
