The Jimmy Butler-Miami Heat saga officially came to an end on Wednesday, when the Heat traded Butler to the Golden State Warriors ahead of the NBA trade deadline. The deal ended a months-long feud between the two sides that saw the Heat suspend Butler on numerous occasions as he sought a trade.

If the Miami Heat plan to wash their hands with Jimmy Butler, they must do so before the upcoming Feb. 6 trade deadline. Swapping their disgruntled superstar for a thriving Denver Nuggets wing may be the most logical move for the franchise.

Moments before Jimmy Butler was handed a Golden State Warriors jersey for the first time, he made clear what his motivation is going forward.
