This comes after months of speculation about where the Minnesota Timberwolves guard would end up after requesting a trade amid a practice blow-up and plenty of off-court drama.
It was thought that the Houston Rockets and Miami Heat were two of the top destinations for the All-Star, but apparently neither of them were able to finish the deal. Butler will be joining an already-impressive cast that includes Rookie of the Year Ben Simmons and All-Star center Joel Embiid.
