Miller, Telfair, Madsen for Fisher, Vujacic, Morrison
Gives us instant credibility at PG, a young defensive wing that can hit threes, and a young prospect in Morrison.
I think the Lakers are already looking to start Farmar ASAP, plus, Miller would fit well alongside Kobe, and Madsen gets a chance to show off his dance moves again.

Re: MIN/LAL
I don't know the whole story, but I was under the impression that Fisher's daughter was really sick, and was getting care in a place in LA, and would just retire if he was traded elsewhere? Or am I dreaming that?

His daughter has something wrong with one of her eyes. It was talked about alot when the Jazz played the Warriors in the playoffs a couple years ago.
From wikipedia:
It was not until a post-game interview after Game 2 that Fisher went into more explicit detail on the situation involving his then-11-month-old daughter, Tatum. She had been diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a degenerative and rare form of eye cancer, which required an emergency three-hour surgery and chemotherapy at New York's Presbyterian Hospital.[8] Prior to Game 2, Fisher had asked head coach Jerry Sloan to leave him on the active list, but said he could not guarantee he would make it in time to play. But with permission from their doctors in New York, he and his family flew back to Utah after his daughter's surgery. After landing in Salt Lake City with Game 2 already in progress, Fisher learned that teammate and starting point Deron Williams was in foul trouble and his backup for the game, Dee Brown, had been seriously injured, leaving forward Andrei Kirilenko to play point guard. Fisher arrived at the arena in the middle of the third quarter, suited up, and without time for preparation, made his way to the court. He was immediately called upon by Sloan to enter the game, and received a standing ovation from the crowd and support from Jazz teammates and former teammate Baron Davis. The Jazz began a comeback in the fourth quarter after being behind most of the game. With little time remaining, Fisher made a critical defensive stop on Davis that helped send the game into overtime. In the closing minutes, the Jazz held a narrow three-point lead when Deron Williams found a wide-open Fisher for a three-pointer that sealed the emotional victory.
Following the season, on July 2, 2007, Fisher announced that he asked the Jazz to release him from his contract so he could devote his energies to fighting his daughter's retinoblastoma. Although denying that Utah's medical care was substandard, he stated that it did not have the "right combination" of specialists. Without officially announcing whether he would play basketball again, he stated that his main concern was finding the right care for Tatum. The Jazz honored his request.

she used to be treated on eye cancer or is still getting treatment. by the time it was talked about frequently when Fisher went from Utah to LA, I can recall reading that there's a medical center in the Twin City area which is among the best in the US. so if that's true he could technically play for us. then again I doubt he'd want to move anyway.

That would be the Mayo Clinic, I'm guessing you are referring to

Fisher's just one of those guys that I woud absolutely love to have, but don't evn bother thinking about in trades because the Lakers would never let him go, and he wouldn't want to leave due to his daughter. Yeah we have the Mayo Clinic, but if she's already being treated there, I don't see him wanting to move her.
Plus, Telfair wouldn't fit in the triangle offense.
