As a follow up to Beal Butler deal.

Miami gets Kuzma
Phoenix gets JVal, One or both of KLove, JRich
Washington gets DRobinson, Nurkic, pick (two of those firsts - maybe send a second or w).

Miami gets better replacement for Butler.
Phoenix fills needs.
Washington gets picks. Adds bad salary but reduces years owed from three to two years

Miami doesn't want Kuzma. They want cap flexibility a year from now. This compromises that for a player who i don't think would fit in Miami.

Wow this is bad.

PHX - stealing value here. Just straight theft. Brought nothing to the party, and started drinking all the beers and eating all the cake.

Wiz - take this and run away giggling. Kuzma is fine but a little over priced. Yes they get negative contracts, but on the whole, max value is 3 SRP not 1 let alone 2 FRP

Heat - do they get better for this season? maybe. Not clearly. The purpose of adding picks (for Miami) is to get an actual superstar when one is available. So they are certainly not wasting picks on an inefficient scorer on a sizable contract.
