NEW from @Anthony_Chiang and me: Lots of Heat player reaction on Butler’s exit and the addition of three. Players express relief, excitement and sadness.

And Love on why Wiggins is such a good fit here: “It could end up being a great thing for us” – 11:30 PM

I hate this for the Warriors.
Maybe Jimmy Butler is a completely different player with a better attitude.
But if the move wasn’t for Durant, I would have kept Wiggins (80% Butler?) and gone for a Vucevic.
Hope I’m wrong because I love Steph and want him to win. – 9:42 PM

So much history moving around. I remember Luka’s first trip to TD, asking him about that C’s-Real game before Dirk passed the torch. All the way through the BOS-DAL Finals. Wiggins was a killer in ‘22. So many Butler-Boston battles. League has changed drastically since last year. – 9:18 PM

Sixers trail the Heat 62-57 at the break. Tyrese Maxey has 11, Kelly Oubre Jr 10, Guerschon Yabusele 9 and Tyler Herro 14 for the Heat. Jimmy Butler’s to Golden State, Andrew Wiggins to Miami, and Luka is still a Laker. Mass hysteria. – 8:41 PM

So your new Heat depth chart: Ware, Adebayo, Jovic, Love and PJ Tucker as your PFs/centers… . Herro, Wiggins, Rozier, Highsmith, Jaquez, Larsson, Robinson, Burks as your wings. – 8:40 PM

Not sure which is more ironic: that Jimmy Butler and Josh Richardson were traded by the same team in the same deal, or that Butler was effectively traded for Andrew Wiggins. – 8:38 PM

The Miami Heat get under the luxury tax by trading Jimmy Butler and Josh Richardson and only taking on Andrew Wiggins and P.J. Tucker.
They eliminate their $23.8 million tax penalty and create a $11 million trade exception. – 8:35 PM

And PJ Tucker to Miami, per Chris Haynes. So Heat gets Wiggins, Tucker and sends away Kyle Anderson and Schroder, acquired via Golden State, and J-Rich to Detroit. – 8:34 PM

Steve Kerr reiterates he doesn’t want to see Warriors “do anything crazy” or anything “rash and give up the farm” in a trade by tomorrow. Kerr reiterates that he, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are aligned on that. At same time, Kerr says Warriors still want to win this season. – 7:42 PM
