Check out this monster:
-Dame + filler/young stuff (Ryan Dunn, Pat, Tyler Smith, one Bucks 2nd*) to Utah
-Durant, Beal, and Svi to Milwaukee
-Sexton/Collins/Clarkson + Kuzma/Portis + Bucks unprotected '31 pick and '32 swap* + one Milwaukee 2nd* to Phoenix
* (Fanspo forgot to add 2032 picks)
-Phoenix gets under the 2nd apron too. They should have a bunch of cap room the following season. With all of that expiring/short money, they could probably use that juicy '31 Bucks pick (+ some late 1sts of other teams' that they have) to get themselves something nice if things line up right. They know they need to retool and this sets them up nicely for that.
-Looks like Milwaukee would still have the MLE and BAE to fill out their roster (mostly starting PG and C; maybe do one year of Monte Morris and Brook + minimum contract specialists?). Beal would have to approve but I get the feeling he might at this point, but there's a smaller more-sane deal without him in it anyway. I think this works regardless of whether Durant signs an extension or not - Milwaukee gets a bunch of cap space if it doesn't work out. They get a metric **** ton of spacing and on-ball scoring ability to compensate for/round out Giannis' weaknesses.
-For us, I really like Ryan Dunn and I think Tyler Smith is really interesting. Maybe Dame has a little bit of gas in the tank when we're done tanking, Pat gives us vet leadership without winning us games. A 2nd way down the road is nice to have.
This is a ridiculously heavy trade but I think it actually makes a lot of sense.
