So the rumored trade out there is basically:
Bucks
trade Middleton, Pat C, BroLo(or Portis+)
for Beal
Heat
trade Butler
for Middleton + (Portis or similar contract)
Suns
trade Beal+ picks
get Butler
Obviously details are there to flush out, but this is the media-speculated bones of the trade.
My problem is that as a basketball fan - I hate the fit of Beal on the Bucks. Lillard + scoring no defense guard has NEVER worked. Also, some defense (whether it's portis or Lopez) is being spent to do this. There has to be a better way.
Here is where Philly comes in to play.
I propose PG and Eric Gordon for Bradley Beal
PG has a pretty sizable contract, Beal is actually younger than PG and has a shorter contract.
Beal/Maxey would be among the best back courts in the east. When Embiid is out, he'd be the clear cut #2 option (more suited to his strengths) Philly probably still should look to move someone like Martin for a swing forward/more of a true 4 but I will leave that out for now.
Bucks slide PG right into Middleton's old role. Gordon can be a shooter off of the bench though he is probably nearing the end of his NBA playing career.
Thoughts?
Assuming the rumored MIA/MIL/PHX. Beal to PHI for PG?

Re: Assuming the rumored MIA/MIL/PHX. Beal to PHI for PG?
If Philly ties themselves to Beal’s NTC, I really like this for Milwaukee.
I think Milwaukee and Philly just work their own trade though? Philly takes the shorter contract of Middleton, the big they could use in Portis and pays to dump Connaughton..
Seems simple without the Phoenix/Miami drama.

Re: Assuming the rumored MIA/MIL/PHX. Beal to PHI for PG?
Bucks would in no way be interested in Beal or Paul George, that report about Beal waiving his NTC is just wishful thinking coming out of Phoenix from their homer beat writer Gambo. There would have to be significant addition compensation to the Bucks including picks and young players, its not going to happen. Bucks would simply take Jimmy Butler in this trade as he is by far the best player and fit.
Only thing the Bucks are confirmed interested in is getting under the 2nd apron.
