Milwaukee has extremely difficult task for that trade, as they are right at the hard cap. I guess the only avenue they could explore would be trading Middleton to another contender for a very good young player. A team, that would not welcome Harden but appreciate Middleton.
Would Denver be prepared to pay MPJ and a pick or two? Atlanta really needs a top wing and have a PF logjam - would Collins and a couple of firsts satisfy Houston? How about Chicago with a combination of two players Markannen/White/WCJ? GSW could get rid of Wiggins by trading Wiseman and a couple of picks - Middleton would be much better for them than Harden. Minnesota also has a bunch of young assets. DiVinzenzo and all remaining Milwaukee 2nd rounders can go to Houston.
All that being said. I don't really understand, why would Milwaukee want Harden.
