While the Golden State Warriors’ trade for Jimmy Butler has been public knowledge for close to 24 hours now, it’s not officially on the books as far as the league is concerned. It’s all thanks to a comedically old school reason: tied-up phone lines.

Even though Jimmy Butler informed the Warriors he would not sign an extension if he was traded there, the six-time All-Star landed there anyway. Moments after the news broke that Butler was traded from the Heat to the Warriors, however, he reportedly agreed to a two-year extension with the franchise anyway.

Jimmy Butler is headed to the Golden State Warriors after one of the most tumultuous trade requests in recent NBA history. News of Butler's desire to get traded first came in December and then culminated with three separate suspensions as the situation grew increasingly intolerable for the Heat.
