Shams added that reports indicated that Butler has agreed to sign a two-year $121 million extension with the Warriors.
After months of public fallout between the two sides, Butler is finally ending his stint in Miami and is now teaming up with four-time champion Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in Golden State.
This will be Butler's fifth NBA team, and the blockbuster swap concluded an already tumultuous season with the Heat in which he insisted he wanted to be traded.
