When asked about whether or not he wants to win a championship as a Sixer, Butler told reporters that was his No. 1 priority.

"That's the reason why everybody plays this game, is to win a championship," Butler added. "MVP's are great, scoring titles are great, defensive player of the year [is] great, but that trophy and getting that ring, knowing that for that point in time, you're the best team in the world. That's special."

He continued: "All I ever wanted to do was win, at any and every level. I have a new opporutnity to do that here and that's the goal. That will always be the goal."

"That's the goal. That will always be the goal."

The four-time NBA All-Star requested a trade from Minnesota in September after one season with the Wolves and when the team made it clear it would not offer him a max contract extension. Butler had been eagerlyawaiting a deal, until the Timberwolves came to terms with the 76ers on Monday.

Butler and Justin Patton were sent to Philadelphia in exchange for Dario Saric, Robert Covington, Jerryd Bayless and a second-round pick.

The 76ers (9-6) take on the Orlando Magic Wednesday night. Butler is expected to make his debut as a Sixer. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. ET.
