In an effort to turn their disappointing season around, the Golden State Warriors traded for Jimmy Butler. They sent Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, Lindy Waters III, and Andrew Wiggins to multiple different teams to add their second piece alongside Stephen Curry on offense and Draymond Green on defense.

The Jimmy Butler trade to the Golden State Warriors took five teams and several playeers being move for it to work.

While the Golden State Warriors’ trade for Jimmy Butler has been public knowledge for close to 24 hours now, it’s not officially on the books as far as the league is concerned. It’s all thanks to a comedically old school reason: tied-up phone lines.
