Heres another bad idea..

Phoenix trade: Jones, Allen, Beal, 2031 top 4 protected 1st
Phoenix receive: Dame, Connaughton, Moore Jr

Detroit trade: Moore Jr, TOR 2025 2nd
Detroit receive: Allen, miami fillers (into room exception)

Milwaukee trade: Dame, Connaughton, Middleton, Brolo, Johnson
Milwaukee receive: Jones, Beal, Butler, Love, TOR 2025 2nd

Miami trade: Butler, Love, fillers
Miami receive: Middleton, Brolo, Johnson, PHX top 4 protected 2031 1st

Note: Allen/Connaughton + Moore trade is a separate transaction so phoenix isnt aggregating. Ditto for Jones to Milwaukee

Why for Detroit: use cap space to add an elite sniper next to Cade
Why for Phoenix: balance roster with a star PG
Why for Milwaukee: Downgrade from Dame to Beal to acquire Butler
Why for Miami: get role players, a prospect and a future lightly protected pick. Can probably sell Lopez for more assets

Add/move around 2nd rd picks as needed

Portis
Giannis
Butler
Beal
Jones

Richards
Durant
Dunn
Booker
Dame

Suns cant aggregate salaries.

They are not aggregating. See my note.

Its
Allen for Pat/Moore Jr
Jones for nothing (can make it a vet min from Milwaukee if that makes it easier)
Beal for Dame

Oh, then NO Its Butler or bust!! And right now we are a bust!!

Don't want Grayson Allen's contract

That first rounder should not be protected.

Even unprotected it is probably not enough to get rid of Beal.

It seems to me that if the Bucks were willing to give up Dame for Butler Miami should cut Phoenix out and get Dame.
