You can't get Nash and keep one of them. You're not getting Nash with just Redick.
I'm not sure I follow the logic here. Nash is 38 years old and also a free agent at the end of the year. You don't ~need~ to include both Ryan and JJ in a deal for Nash anymore. One of them, probably, and Nelson almost certainly goes as well.
So a straight deal of Nelson plus either JJ or Ryan for Nash works under the cap, and is a pretty good return for a very good, but very old, Point Guard.
