Jimmy Butler is officially a member of the 76ers as the trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves was announced on Monday morning.

Butler arrived in Philadelphia this afternoon and will be introduced to the media on Tuesday morning at the team’s training facility in Camden. The newest Sixer spoke exclusively to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark upon landing at the airport.

"I'm ready to get started. We got a little ways to go. We got some things to figure out," Butler told NBC Sports Philadelphia.

As for what Philly can expect from him?

"Hard playing. A guy that wants to win. We want to win. We want a championship. I think the core group of guys that we have will find a way to get it done," Butler said.

Butler is expected to make his debut with the Sixers on Wednesday night when the team takes on the Magic in Orlando.
