Jul 1, 2019 6:03 PM

The Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a four-team trade centered on Jimmy Butler. Butler will receive a four-year, $142 million max contract.

The Dallas Mavericks were in the original iteration of the deal with either Goran Dragic or Kelly Olynyk and Derrick Jones Jr. going to them from the Heat.

The Clippers will receive Maurice Harkless in the deal but preserve enough cap space to sign Kawhi Leonard should they receive a commitment. The Clippers will also receive a protected 2023 first round pick from the Heat for taking back the $11 million expiring contract of Harkless.

Harkless was originally going to be traded to the Heat as part of the Hassan Whiteside deal. Meyers Leonard will still be traded to the Heat.

The 76ers will receive Josh Richardson.
