OKC/UTA/MIL/SAC

This is complicated, so it probably won't happen, but there is reason to do it for all parties.
OKC in- Kanter, Williams
Why? Interior scorer and rebounder to make push for playoffs and keep Durant happy. Both expire, but have RFA rights to Kanter.
UTA in- Henson, Middleton
Why? Good return for Kanter that addresses teams needs of backup center and perimeter player.
MIL in- Perkins, Collison, Stauskus
Why? Collison and Perkins allow Bucks to continue to push for playoffs, and Collison gives Bucks a cheaper, true PG for a few years instead of overpaying Knight. This deal frees up a lot of cash to buy out Sanders and pursue a true starting center.
SAC in- Ilyasova, Knight, Lamb (or alternatively, Stauskus stays and Lamb goes to to MIL).
Why? Stretch PF to pair with Cousins to open up paint, and possible upgrade at PG. If Knight works out, SAC can extend him over the summer. If Ersan doesn't work out, the last year of his contract is a team option.
