As others have it said it needs to be Rui instead of Vando for salary matching purposes. A D'Lo sign and trade could also be used to create some money flexibility.
I toyed around with the idea of a 3 team trade in a different thread with the Brooklyn Nets.
Essentially, Brooklyn would flip Schroeder and DFS for Russell and the Suns 2024 1st
PHX would get Schroeder, DFS and Rui
Lakers would get Beal
I believe that this works under the 125% rule if Lebron opts out. If not, JHS would need to be included to make the math work
Brooklyn gets an upgrade at the point and cashes out the final year of DFS's deal
Lakers get a 3rd all-star while keeping their future picks (they would be at $193.8MM if they resign Prince and keep their pick for 10 players and would need to round out the roster with minimums - if Lebron leaves money on the table they could free up a mid level).
PHX gets off of the Beal contract with shorter term, more moveable deals. The 3 pieces they add fit the rotation - I assume Schroeder and DFS are starters.
