Jimmy Butler had been traded to the Golden State Warriors in a four-team trade, including the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz. The Warriors parted ways with Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and Lindy Waters III. Wiggins and Anderson joined the Heat, while Schroder was shipped to Utah and Waters to Detroit. Meanwhile, P.J.. Tucker reunited with Miami in exchange for Schroder and Josh Richardson was moved to Detroit.

Several reports suggested Butler won't sign an extension with any team other than the Suns. However, the newly traded superstar made a U-turn on that decision. Butler has reportedly declined his player option for the 2025-26 season worth $52.4 million and signed a two-year deal worth $121 million with the Warriors, as per ESPN's Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst.

He will earn $60.5 million annually and become one of the top 10 paid players in the 2025-26 season.
