Butler, 29, has been agitating for a move away from the Timberwolves since the start of the season, handing a transfer request in September.

He has since played in 10 games, averaging just over 21 points, but has cut an unhappy figure in the Wolves’ 4-9 start to the 2018-2019 campaign.

ESPN reported that the Timberwolves will receive Robert Covington, Dario Šarić, Jerryd Bayless, and a second-round draft pick in exchange for Butler.

The 76ers will also receive Justin Patton as part of the deal which gives Philadelphia a formidable trio of Butler, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons.

“He said he just wants to win,” Simmons said before Saturday’s 112-106 overtime loss to Memphis. “I think that’s the mindset we all have here. We’re excited to get Jimmy in here.”

The Sixers were left shorthanded Saturday night because the players involved in the trade did not play against Memphis.

News of Butler’s imminent arrival in Philadelphia prompted Las Vegas bookmakers to slice the Sixers’ odds of challenging for the NBA championship.

The Westgate Las Vegas Superbook installed the Sixers as 16-1 shots for the crown, down from 30-1.

The 76ers are currently third in the Eastern Conference standings with eight wins and five defeats.
