I think this is a redditor comments: Possible? If so, this isn't a win now package for MIL. Would you have any interest in any of the players going to MIA in this situation?

Being a second-apron team, the Bucks cannot aggregate salaries to acquire Butler.
HOWEVER, they can combine salaries to grab Butler and move out of the first apron. The Bucks would need to only acquire Butler and send out $55.3M in salaries to make this happen.
A second-apron team is allowed to aggregate salaries ONLY IF the trade effectively moves them out of the second apron.
Hard to imagine they could do it, but it is technically possible.
Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, and Pat Connaughton gets you to $53.6M in total. The magic number for Butler and MIL would be $55.3M to dip below the second apron.
Throw in MarJon Beauchamp as an outgoing salary and you got yourself a scenario where Butler to MIL can happen.
