Jimmy Butler is in Philadelphia, and upon his arrival he immediately began talking about winning a championship.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have traded Jimmy Butler to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to CBS Sports. The 29 year old, who is a four-time NBA All-Star, played six seasons for the Chicago Bulls before being traded to the Wolves last June for Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn.
Kings coach Dave Joerger didn't like most of what he saw from his team in the first half against Minnesota. The second half was an entirely different story and had Joerger beaming afterward, even though Sacramento nearly blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter.

The 30-year-old point guard has been derailed by injuries since he was the 2011 NBA MVP. He had 34 points in the second half and 15 in a tightly contested fourth quarter as the Wolves held off the Jazz. His basket down low with 30 seconds remaining put Minnesota up for good, and he made two free throws with 13.8 seconds left to preserve a three-point lead.
