Possible Ariza Lakers Trade (Fultz?!)

“Wanted to say I’m a huge fan of the BS pod, and The Ringer network in general. I can’t even count how many different Ringer pods I have on my phone. Love it, keep it up. Here’s a trade scenario for you below. You used to have an email for mailbag but I think you just check iTunes reviews now?
Basically the Lakers get Ariza, Suns get Fultz Svi and probably some seconds, and 76ers get KCP & Okobo along with anywhere from $1-4M in cash from the Suns. That’s the short version. My reasoning and how the money works is below.
I’ve read and heard a lot of stuff about the Lakers trading for Ariza. There was one ridiculous outlet that suggested giving them a 1st, but the rest were reasonable. From what I’ve read the Suns want a PG in a 3 team deal. How about this?
Lakers get Ariza (expiring $15M contract) it’s obvious Ariza will be way better than the Lakers than KCP especially for the playoffs. He’s getting old but he can still defend well, defend multiple positions, and hit open 3s. He knows his role.
Sixers get Elie Okobo (31st pick, under team control, making peanuts) and KCP (expiring deal), That’d be to make the $ work. They get rid of Fultz salary and drama, and they get KCP who isn’t great but the 76ers need wing depth and he’d be a great guy off the bench for them
for a year.
Suns get Two 2nds, Svi Mykhailiuk who’s a 6”8 rookie who shot 44% on 6.6 attempts his 4th year at Kansas, over 40% for his 4yrs there. He can play PG, SG, whatever. The Suns could start him immediately (or mix him and Melton) at PG. They also get Fultz, who’s a project, but the upside is still there. Sure he probably won’t ever be #1 pick Fultz again, but if they just sit him out a couple months and figure it out, he still has potential to be a good starting PG in the future. It’s a very low risk gamble, why not make it? You get two young players and two 2nds for an expiring Ariza contract.
The Suns would be bringing in about $10M and giving out $18.2M.
Lakers bringing in $15M and receiving $15M
Sixers giving out $8.3M and bringing in $14.2M. On trade machine the 76ers would need to give one more player (or $) to the Suns making $1M+ to make that money work.
So the 76ers could just give the Suns Patton (believe he’s expiring), Bolden, or the Suns could just give some cash to the Sixers as that happens a lot in trades. Since the Suns are bringing in so much less salary than they’re giving out, I could see them giving the 76ers anywhere from 1 to a few million bucks in “cash considerations””
