    Yao, Jordan Hill, CBud and Jeffries for Melo, Nene, Harrington and Balkman works, if we use a couple trade exceptions. Maybe throw in the 2012 NY pick. The salary difference is almost $8 million, meaning Denver saves $8 million in luxury tax, plus gains $8 million in insurance payments. Plus, Denver saves almost $28 million in future salary to Harrington. That's $44 million in cash plus savings.

    Or if Nene is untouchable, maybe a three way:

    Houston gets:
    Melo
    Dalembert
    Balkman

    Denver gets:
    Yao
    Jordan Hill
    CBud
    2012 NY Pick (from Hou)

    Sacramento gets:
    J.R. Smith
    J. Jeffries
    $3 million cash (from Hou)
