I think we're missing a chunk of the story.
Sure THJ+10 for Bojan+31 is laughable and on the face of it such a ludicrous idea it's hard to take seriously. So that is making me believe this is a probable 3 team deal, with those pieces as a foundation.
Could there be a 3-team trade here between Dallas, Phoenix, and Detroit?
Bojan+THJ to PHX
Ayton+Burks (or Stewart)+31 to DAL
#10+Bertans to Detroit.
Given the history of lottery picks especially #10, Bertans is about right in terms of salary to be eaten. Detroit get their 2nd lotto pick to go with #5 and all they had to do was ship off 2 guys that don't fit the timeline at all and eat Bertans' contract.
PHX gets their 2 starters for Ayton at positions of need for Ayton and only increase their cap a modicum amount.
