The Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat came together on a blockbuster trade before the NBA trade deadline last year. Of course, that was the deal that sent Jimmy Butler to the Warriors to team up with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

Butler’s split from the Heat not only reshaped Miami’s roster but also triggered a series of financial and roster decisions as the team pivoted toward a leaner payroll. That trend continued again on Friday following the latest Heat trade.
