Ok so this is my first time posting so we'll see how this goes. This is more of a fantasy trade but it benefits all teams while also allowing the players to get what they want.

Nets get: D. Howard, Josh Smith, K. Korver
Lakers get: K. Love, J.J Barea, K. Humphries (Future 2nd Round Pick)
Hawks get: B. Lopez, G. Wallace (Future 1st or 2nd Round Pick)
T'Wolves get: Pau Gasol, J. Jenkins (Nets 2013 1st Round Pick)
Reasoning:
Nets: Get the most athletic frontcourt in the league. Two defensive monsters that would help out with the lack of back court Def from Williams and Johnson. They are best friends and would be locks to resign. It solves our PF problem as we can move Evans to the bench and makes us an even deeper team. We also get a 3pt specialist in Korver (and keep mirza) who would fit perfectly with Howard. (Key Note: We get to keep Brooks)
Lakers: The Lakers get a good C in K. Love who is a local product (and under contract) to replace Howard. Love makes a living off of garbage ball and doesn't demand the ball, which would be PERFECT for Kobe. Love also has great range and could be deadly in the pick and roll with Nash. They get an energetic back up PG who would really compliment Nash off the bench. They would also get an expiring contract in Humphries which doesn't change their 2014 free agent plans, not to mention it would please D'Antoni to say good bye to Pau. Add a future 2nd rounder as well to lighten the loss of Gasol.
Hawks: G. Wallace adds that defensive presence and slashing offense they don’t have. They also get B.Lopez, which allows Horford to move back to the 4 and gives them a very good frontcourt, both now and for the future. They also get a future 1st or 2nd round pick to sweeten the deal for them.
T'Wolves: They finally get to pair Rubio with Gasol. They add a young perimeter shooter in J. Jenkins who is a great catch and shoot guy who would fit well with Rubio and Gasol. They also get a 1st round pick to make it worthwhile.
