Butler was sent to the Miami Heat in a sign-and-trade deal on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Philadelphia acquires Josh Richardson in return.

The Sixers’ goodbye to Butler didn’t last all that long. They quickly turned around and signed Al Horford to a four-year, $109 million deal.
