Embiid wanted Butler earlier this offseason but the Heat passed. He goes back to Philly and re-signs there.

Paul George has been an abject disaster for the Sixers in the first year of his 4 year max deal. He fits Phoenix better as a bigger wing with the same health concerns as Beal. The dump a 1st to get him off the team and hope to salvage their season.

The Suns jump at the chance to dump Beal's contract. It's painful, as George doesn't look right, but he fits the team better than Beal ever has. Richardson is included as a veteran minimum exception to make the cap work.
