The Heat wound up paying their way out of the jam and into the five-team deal that sent Jimmy Butler to the Warriors and delivered Andrew Wiggins from the Warriors. As part of the machinations, the Heat made a pair of sizable cash payments to complete the transaction in the five-team deal. Each season, teams are given a maximum allotment of money that either can be sent out in transactions or take back in transactions, with the figure this season at $7.24 million. In order to offload pieces in the transaction — essentially cover remaining salaries of players included for cap-matching purposes — the Heat sent out $563,655 to the Jazz to take on the salary of guard Josh Richardson, who since has been waived by Utah. In addition, the Heat sent $3.5 million to the Toronto Raptors, who took on the contract of former Heat forward P.J. Tucker.

Jimmy Butler: “I hate turnovers. I don’t turn the ball over. (Protecting the ball) is what I’m supposed to be doing. That’s tough. I gotta be better. Damn sure late game, at that.” pic.x.com/ypH8EOe3RK – 1:25 AM

Kyrie Irving scores 42 and takes the game-sealing charge on Jimmy Butler. Much-needed win for the Mavs. All was calm in the AAC stands, as far as I could see. – 12:14 AM

Warriors rip off 15-3 run in final four minutes to salvage shaky first half. Jimmy Butler had five rebounds, six assists, including closing O rebound that led to Draymond Green layup before buzzer. Butler to Draymond as they left the floor: “Hey! Good play, m***** f*****!” – 10:44 PM
