Bringing up trade for Middleton idea again. He makes $15 mil and is a year younger than both Butler and George. Trade Crowder and AB along with two picks (Lakers and Clippers)
Bucks will need to extend Parker and they are paying a handful of others $10 mil plus.
If not, maybe trade Zeller/Crowder/clippers pick in a sign and trade for Millsap, Gay, or Gallo. Need a stretch 4 and any of those guys will work fine. Trade AB for a draft pick?
Bringing in Hayward is obviously still the #1 step but any of these guys would be a great 2nd step.
