I just don´t see why Phoenix deals away Thomas AND two first rounders in his last year instead of just cutting him.

Oh, and before someone jumps out and is so kind to explain it to me, I of course understand the benefit of a 8 mill trade exception, I just wouldnt give up 2 first rounders myself to get it.
They would have to continue to pay his salary and it would have counted against their cap I would expect. So the only way to get rid of his salary was to deal him.
