Making the contracts work is the most difficult part, but it makes sense for everyone: Kings still try to compete with PG while continuing to build for the future, Heat get their next gen star who is at a standstill with his current team (also gets to play with his buddies Herro and Bam), Sixers get Embiid his best buddy.
If this happens Miami is the one that needs to add, not us. Butler for George is basically a lateral move considering their ages. But Fox is only 27 and gets paid $13m less ($37m).
So it would have to be:
PHI out: George
PHI in: Butler
SAC out: Fox
SAC in: George + assets
MIA out: Butler + assets
MIA in: Fox
Plus SAC needs to send at least $5m more of salary to MIA to make the deal work since they're hardcapped at the Apron.
