The Warriors, unable to contend with an injured Butler on a one year max, attach draft compensation and a young player to Butler’s contract and turn him into LeBron James. (Note: For S&T’s like this the minimum length of the deal is 3 years but year 2 and 3 can be non-guaranteed, I just can’t make that change on Fanspo.)

The Bucks receive a few good young players with high potential, along with 3 FRP’s (*Lakers and every team can technically also trade their 2033 FRP immediately after this upcoming draft, so it could be 4 FRP total) along with opening up a maximum salary slot next offseason due to Butler’s deal being a one year expiring contract. This satisfies all of the Bucks expectations and doesn’t burden them with multiple years of dead salary like every other trade proposal being mentioned from other teams would require.

The Lakers get Giannis
