Butler returned to Miami for the first time since the trade last week, scoring 11 points in the Warriors' 112-86 loss to the Heat on Tuesday. Despite the disappointing game result, the 35-year-old appreciated the opportunity to return to a city he called home for six years.

Back in 2019, the 76ers opted to sign Tobias Harris to a five-year, $180 million contract, a deal that did not age well. Meanwhile, Butler agreed to terms with the Miami Heat in NBA free agency before a sign-and-trade was orchestrated.
