Jimmy Butler's long and messy divorce with the Miami Heat is finally over after his old team traded the six-time NBA All-Star to the Golden State

Like Butler, whose father died last February, Riley lost his father when he was relatively young. Sources tell The Athletic that tears welled in Riley’s eyes as he spoke to Butler about that subject, attempting to connect with him on a human level and repair their fractured relationship during a two-hour meeting.

The Heat dealt the disgruntled Butler to the Golden State Warriors as part of a three-team trade on Wednesday night on the eve of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, ESPN reported. The Heat also traded Josh Richardson to the Detroit Pistons as part of the deal.
