Last week, the Golden State Warriors completed a blockbuster trade with the Miami Heat to acquire Jimmy Butler.

So far, the Warriors are 2-0 with Butler.

Via Warriors.com (on Thursday): “The Golden State Warriors have acquired forward Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat Heat in a multi-team trade that sends forwards Kyle Anderson and Andrew Wiggins to the Heat, guard Dennis Schröder to the Utah Jazz and guard Lindy Waters III to the Detroit Pistons. Additionally, Golden State will send its 2025 first-round pick (top 10 protected) to Miami, it was announced today.”

Nearly everyone around the NBA world has their thoughts on the deal.

Recently, Basketball Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett (via KG Certified) gave his reaction.

Garnett on Wiggins: “I think Wiggins is going to be unbelievable in this trade. He’s better than what people are giving him and he’s been playing unbelievable this year… I think Miami will be a better fit for him… I know the kid and Toronto, Miami have similar scenes… I think he’s going to be great over there.”

Garnett on Butler: “When he is focused on basketball, his impact on the game is so viable… I think we’re going to see a better version of Jimmy. At some point, we gotta expect a more mature Jimmy. This system helps him… I don’t think it’s going to take them over the top though.”

The Warriors are currently the 10th seed in the Western Conference with a 27-26 record in 53 games.
