Sac/Hou/Mem (Gay/Tyreke to Hou, Lin to Sac, Parsons to Mem)

I know this is a very unlikely trade. I was just having fun with the trade machine and want to see what people think.
Memphis Trades:
Rudy Gay
Memphis Receives:
Chandler Parsons
Francisco Garcia
Toney Douglas
Trade Exemption ($7m –ish)
Memphis would solve their luxury tax problem by trading for the best contract in the league, plus expiring contracts. I think the Parsons would fit well with the team and keep them the championship contender that they are. Parsons is a downgrade from Gay, but he is certainly a starter in this league.
Sacramento Trades:
Tyreke Evans
Francisco Garcia
Sacramento Receives:
Jeremy Lin
Carlos Delfino
Cole Aldrich
Sacramento decides that Linsanity might put buts in the seats and chose the trade Tyreke’s uncertain future contract for price certainty. Delfino and his shooting ability would become part of the SF rotation. Ultimately, it comes down to liking Lin and his contract more than Tyreke and what his contract might be.
Houston Trades:
Chandler Parsons
Jeremy Lin
Carlos Delfino
Cole Aldrich
Toney Douglas
Houston Receives:
Rudy Gay
Tyreke Evans
Houston trades a good player on a great contract so that they can get a massive talent upgrade at two positions. Gay is better than Parsons (though I have a feeling people might argue this) on a pure talent level. Tyreke has more pure talent than Lin. Long term, the team has Harden and Tyreke share PG duties. A lineup of Tyreke, Harden, Gay, Asik, and a PF (Morris of Montejunas, as floor spacers) could be deadly. This trade kills Houston’s chances at anything in free agency, but they get a big three that can grow together over the next few years.
