Kerr: Andrew Wiggins '1 of My Favorite Players' After Warriors' Jimmy Butler Trade

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr reflected on the realities of the NBA after the team agreed to trade Andrew Wiggins to the Miami Heat in a sprawling deal that brings Jimmy Butler to the Bay Area.

ESPN's Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst reported Wednesday the Warriors are acquiring Butler from the Heat in a move that includes the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons.

Addressing the trade after Golden State's 131-128 loss to the Jazz, Kerr called Wiggins "one of my favorite players I've ever coached" and praised the veteran forward's contributions to the Warriors' 2022 championship.
