Because if the Celtics don't help facilitate the deal, the deal doesn't get done. It's called being opportunistic.
Who says that's the case though? Cam Johnson makes $5.9M. That's a relatively small amount of money. The Nets have a TPE that fits him so he wouldn't have to be included in any of the salary matching on their end. And the salary matching math is more likely to be a problem of Phoenix needed to send more than BRK having to cut back what they take.
It's an absolutely preposterous scenario to think that BRK would need to or want to move Cam Johnson to facilitate the deal. Very reasonable to think they could need to or want to move Crowder to do so, but it's fantasy la-la land to say it with Johnson.
No one is saying is going to get done. You asked how it could get done? Celtics have multiple TPEs and Ayton has some BYC contract issues. Suns/Nets may need a team to take back salary to get a deal done.
