Here's the trade:

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7ffowhk

It's essentially:

ORL get: Gasol, Bynum, Nash
LAL get: Howard, Turkoglu
PHO get: Nelson, Anderson, Harper

Is this totally unrealistic?

Also, would this be a brilliant deal for ORL in that, after the season they could let Nash expire and take a run at D-Will? I'm assuming that getting Howard, Hedo and Nash off their books and taking on Gasol/Bynum would provide some cap relief...

Why does Phoenix get involved?


They give up Nash and are left with trying to resign Anderson and Nelson being overpayed in the future.

You're right, but to clarify I'm almost certain Nelson has a team option for next season.
