We are completely fine with taking on Booker's salary because we have a TON of cap space. We have no issue taking on that contract. With the addition of the Bucks, we basically sent Koufos away for free with only positive being that we didn't have to pay for Booker. We value Koufos more than the salary that we would save sending him away. If we move Koufos, we are moving him away for a player who can help us, not salary relief.
The only (slightly) obtainable pieces the Bucks have that we are interested in are Malcolm Brogdon, Jabari Parker, and picks. From what I've seen here, you really like Parker and I don't blame you. He is a solid young player who is coming off of a (2nd) big injury. You would be selling low on the guy if you dealt him now. We are interested in him, but we are not likely to give you the value that you are seeking. That leaves us with 2 other directions:
1. We are interested in future firsts if you want to go that route. We could send Koufos to you for a future first.
2. Brogdon. We really like Brogdon and I'm certain that you do too. He is a team player and seems to be quite a hustler. I don't think you value Koufos and Brogdon the same so we may not have a deal there, but it could be the basis of a deal.
Your original deal was Booker and 27 for 34 correct? Since we are now taking on Booker you are basically moving up 7 spots and back into the 1st where you gain another year of cheap control of whoever you decide to draft. This has some value along with to cap flexibility to still take on a bad contract for another asset later on. I really feel the current value is fair for the Kings. I'm just not sure how the Nets value Anderson.
And neither Brogdon or Parker would even be considered in a deal centered around a back up center coming back to Milwaukee. Also with glut of centers available via trade I'm not willing to spend a future 1st for Koufos.
We totally get it. You value Parker and Brogdon highly and we expect you to. They are good players with some nice potential. As for our current deal, we favor the initial deal that we had with the Nets. We can take on Booker's contract no problem. This allows us to move in to the first round, get a better chance at the guy we want, and keep Koufos. Unfortunately, we will have to decline our side of the deal and possibly take the Nets deal. It is in our best interest to do it that way.
Fair enough.
I had to bro... please forgive me 
lol.
