After signing with the Miami Heat in 2019, Jimmy Butler told team president Pat Riley that Andrew Wiggins was the most talented player he ever played with.

That detail was revealed amid Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst of ESPN's breakdown of the split between the Heat and Butler, who was traded on Wednesday to the Golden State Warriors.

Five-and-a-half years after that remark, Wiggins was moved from Golden State to Miami in a five-team deal that brought Butler to the Heat.
