They have two compounding problems they need to solve. Shed $10m and find a taker for $40m/3yr overpay of Ayton. Doing both and getting Bullock/McGee level value may be where they are.
They could S/W Bertans, but I'm not so sure we're at the point where Bullock+McGee and eating Bertans' salary is the value of Ayton (and the ability to retain CP3+MLE if possible).
I think THJ will have to be included as the thing PHX can sell to fans "look! We've gotten serious depth now." I wrote like 3 posts earlier of the same package you proposed. After waiting an hour, I just don't see PHX being really excited for a Bertans+Bullock+McGee package where they have to waive Bertans to retain CP3.
