ATL trades Marvin for Garcia and SAC 2nd (saves 2.7M). Also allows to S&T Crawford for a decent SF or back-up C. I know that Garcia is not Jamaal but we do not need a combo guard anymore with Hinrich and Teague covering the point. Garcia can play SG/SF.

S&T Crawford 5.5-6M 3y to NY for Turiaf (servicable back-up at C) and Bill Walker (saves another 5.3M compare to last year). Both expiring.
Trade Turiaf + Walker and SAC and HOU 2nd to MIN for Beasley

Teague-Hinrich- Sy
JJ- Garcia-Hinrich
Beasley-Garcia- Damian
Smoothe-Horford- Rolle
Horford- Zaza- Benson- FA Collins?

I could even see us going to a big line up JJ-Beasley-Smoothe-Al- Zaza/Benson at times

I honestly don't see any of those teams doing that deal. Why would SAC trade Garcia for Marvin? I also think Crawford burned too many bridges in NY for him to return there. Plus Turiaf is really their only center right now, plus they have a ton of wings already. Then to crash your dreams even further, why would Minny do that deal for Beasley? I believe they are fairly high on him.

The Garcia trade is actually in favor of Sacramento, their contracts are the same in length but Garcia has a pure SF game but the body of a beanpole. Marvin offers around the same shooting but much better rebounding and size at the position but then the question is why do we want Garcia then outside of saving a few mil?

As far as Jamal burning bridges? Simply not true, we all know how much of a consummate professional he is and his leaving NY was a pure salary dump having nothing to do with Jamal on and off the court. I agree though that I doubt that they'd move Turiaf for a small but also because they want to preserve 2012 cap space for Paul or Dwight so they won't really go after a long term signing.

Yes that proposal for Beasley is a bit weak and under current CBA rules it would be impossible to flip a recently traded for player with another player right away unless the initial trade is a 3 team deal.
