Jimmy Butler's first words upon arriving in Philadelphia spelled his desire to get straight to work and help the 76ers win a championship.

The player's trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves was made official on Monday and he is expected to make his debut against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.

Butler had asked to be traded from his former team during the offseason and, at times, it appeared as if he might not get his wish. But, on Saturday, the 76ers were able to strike a deal that has seen Robert Covington, Dario Saric and Jerryd Bayless go the other way.

"Very much so, it's something new," Butler told John Clark of NBC Sports after being asked whether he was happy to be in Philly.

The shooting guard will be teaming up with two of the NBA's most dominant young players in Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons and he claims to be excited to begin working with the pair.

"I'm ready to get started," he said. "We got a little ways to go, we got some things to figure out but all in all, I look forward to it."

Asked what Philadelphia can expect from him, Butler replied: "A hard-playing guy who wants to win. We got some things we gotta get done here, we want a championship. I think the core group of guys that we have will figure out a way to get it done."

Butler averaged 21.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his 10 games with the Timberwolves this season and will look to make his mark in Philly as quickly as possible.

“We have a championship window that’s centered around the continued progression of our talented young core, as well as our ability to add elite players who elevate our program," Elton Brand, the Sixers' general manager, said in a statement.

“In Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, we have two of the NBA’s top 20 players. Now, we’ve added a third top 20 player in Jimmy Butler, who is one of the NBA’s very best on both ends of the floor. This move further strengthens our pursuit of a championship and gives us a formidable combination to take on the league’s top teams.”
