The Jimmy Butler III trade was easily the second-most chaotic trade that happened before the 2025 NBA trade deadline passed. For the Miami Heat, trading him away was about getting rid of a problem in the locker room.

The Golden State Warriors struggled throughout the first half of this season, and everyone knew they needed a legitimate second star alongside Stephen Curry. Just before the trade deadline, they got their man when they landed six-time All-Star forward Jimmy Butler in a blockbuster trade with the Miami Heat.

Ever since the Miami Heat traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors, there is no doubt that Tyler Herro was tasked as the No. 1 scoring option on the team. After the Heat's loss to the Chicago Bulls, he spoke about his new role on the team and how he's had to adapt to opposing defenses.
