How about this iteration?
Mil: Green, Curry
Dallas: Portis, Beauchamp
Milwaukee gets their wing defender and a bench shooter. They save a bunch of salary this season and stay on similar level next one. Mavs fill the position of need with a combo PF/C. Portis rebounds well and is a decent shooter. Mavs would depend on Exum being healthy going forward. Beauchamp is a bench piece, athletic but raw.

I wish I could smack the like button more than once because of Bobby Portis. I love Bobby Portis and he'd fit incredibly well here at the 4. Plus he gives us that "don't f with us" energy.
But to do this deal, you're banking on Beauchamp being something. Green does play a pretty significant role here on defense and we need that defense pretty badly. Further it puts us into the tax this year due to Green only counting 4 mil against our cap.
If MIL had a 1st to trade I'd be more interested but they don't. So unfortunately my Portis dream will have to wait.
