For those who are interested, I don't think there is any way to do this in July from the Phoenix POV. So, no inclusion of Wood or Holmes is possible. So, if this is a thing (IF), Philly could take just THJ/Maxi in June. They could also take all three of THJ, Maxi and McGee in a June deal. They could also do THJ/Reggie/McGee. BTW, I don't look at the supposed Moray comment to Cleveland as anything more than hyperbole.
BTW, if you do the latter two versions that include McGee, there is room to also use the full MLE. Rotation is probably:
Ayton/Lively/Holmes Ayton/Lively/Holmes
MLE/O-Max/Min Maxi/O-Max/Min
Green/Reggie/Min OR Green/MLE/Min
Kyrie/Hardy/Min Kyrie/Hardy/Min
Luka/Min Luka/Min
If we had any thought to trading for Ayton, it would make absolutely zero sense to draft Lively. They had their chance to trade for him prior to the draft. I feel like the Lively pick shut the door to long term big salary centers.
