Milwaukee gets Butler, Teague, Dieng
Minnesota gets Bledsoe, Brogdon, Snell, Maker, Henson, MIL 2022 1st

Minny replaces Butler with proven Brogdon, another x-Thibs wing Snell and young prospect Maker.
They make a slight upgrade with exp and cheaper Bledsoe over overpaid Teague.
They cut costs with Dieng/Henson swap.
They send Butler out of the conference, while getting a pick which could be even a lottery one if things don't come together for the Bucks.

Bledsoe/Rose/Jones
Brogdon/Snell/Okogie
Wiggins/Deng/Bates-Diop
Gibson/Tolliver/Maker
KAT/Henson/Patton

Bucks make the best Top 3 in the East. Teague is a Bud player and Dieng fits better than Henson in his plans, so it's OK. Only problem is that they will have to go deep in the tax next season to keep the team together. It's also OK since it will be for one year as Teague, Delly, Ilyasova combine 35 mil expiring the next.

Teague/Dellavedova/Frazier
Butler/Brown/DDV
Middleton/Connaughton/Muhammad
Giannis/Ilyasova/Wilson
Lopez/Dieng/Zeller or Wood

Don't think money is anywhere close to working.

It's 54,6 coming out of Minessota and 41,3 in. Somehow it works in the machine. Maybe a filler like Zeller could be needed to be fully legal.

@milpso, Butler is looking for a 4 year 152 Mil. contract. (Kind of like what KAT received for 5 years 38 mil. per year) Now, what about Middleton? What does he receive next year? It appears Butler would just be a one year rental at best. Giannis makes 25 mil per year, Sooner or later you either have to pay Middleton, or trade him. then what? max out Butler?

If the fit is right and the Bucks play the finals you pay both Butlet and Middleton and go deep in the tax for one year. In 2020 many deals expire and the luxury tax will be at 140 million. Bucks can afford with the new arena to pay big for such a team for one year.

Too much coming from Miami. They won't trade both Richardson and Winslow. Winsolw and Whiteside and Miami 1st. would work.

Well torque I do believe it’ll take Middleton plus to get butler so you won’t have that problem! Milpso bucks ain’t reaching the finals even with jimmy and Middleton.
