Miami Heat Get Jimmy Butler

     The Miami Heat began the NBA free agency period on Sunday night and acquired guard Jimmy Butler from the Philadelphia 76ers for guard Josh Richardson. It was a sign-and-trade deal between both clubs. Butler signed for the maximum with the Sixers which was a four-year contract for $141 million.
     Butler was picked up by Philadelphia from the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2018-19 season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.0 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game in 55 contests with the 76ers. Butler played his first six seasons in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls.
