This would suck if it was for butler, but Middleton and Portis could work out.

Bucks are an apron team so we're not getting both. They need to somehow get under the apron to aggregate players, which means losing someone for nothing. Odds of them giving up multiple rotation players aren't good.

If you read that article it says they would first have to dump Connington's salary to do the deal.

I know it sounds like a lot - if you look at their salaries Portis and Middleton's contracts are the two that fit, and coincidently Portis is what we need.

I guess it all depends on how much they want Beal.

Unfortunately I think Ishbia wants Butler, not Millwaukee's stuff, which would be a huge mistake - but either way I think Millwaukee would have to send out those two players whether they go to Miami or us.

I would be beyond floored if Milwaukee traded both of those guys for Beal’s broken down and toxic contract.

I did read it. I still can't see them moving 3 rotation players for Beal. It doesn't make sense unless Giannis is demanding it and I highly doubt that is the case given his history with Middleton.

Time will tell but I can't see Milwaukee losing all of those players.

I have seen where they want off Middleton. Portis I know they like. I can't see Connington being easily traded either. That's a lot of ifs and buts to have that get done.
