Jimmy Butler to Golden State Warriors: Social media reacts to big NBA trade
If Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers wasn't already enough, NBA fans were gifted another superstar trade with the Miami Heat finalizing a deal to send Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors, USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt reports.
Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schröder, Kyle Anderson and a first-round draft pick are on the move in a deal that also involves Golden State's Lindy Waters III and Miami's Josh Richardson.
Detroit will receive Richardson from Miami and Waters from Golden State; Utah will acquire Schröder from Golden State and Utah will trade P.J. Tucker to Miami, which also gets Wiggins, Anderson and a protected 2025 first-round pick from Golden State.
Yes, this was a very complicated deal. And it could expand further still.
Here are the best reactions to the trade from across social media:
