Jimmy Butler finally escaped from Miami and the Detroit Pistons were happy to be one of the five teams that were part of the deal that took him from South Beach to the Golden State Warriors.
The Pistons received guards Lindy Waters III from the Warriors and Josh Richardson from the Miami Heat in what amounted to a five-team deal involving XXXXX players to ensure Butler was able to land with the Warriors.
Butler also waived his player option and signed a two-year, $121 million extension with the Warriors.
As part of the deal, the Warriors sent out Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Shroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round pick, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
