The Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat came together on a blockbuster trade before the NBA trade deadline last year. Of course, that was the deal that sent Jimmy Butler to the Warriors to team up with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

On Friday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Heat traded Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for a protected 2026 second-round selection. The move is part of Miami’s effort to keep costs down while repositioning the team for the future after losing Butler, who had been central to their playoff runs in recent years.
