Do we have the pieces to make something like this happen?

on paper we would have a nice team. would have the best halfcourt offense in the league i think

BUT... we would be the slowest team in the league

Big Al and Nash wouldn't work well together offensively. They both need the ball in certain situations (Nash in pick and rolls, Al in low post) that are the opposite of what the other one does well. Given their combined defensive flaws (and how much it would impair rebuilding), I don't think this trade is worthwhile making.

Even if it was worthwhile, I don't think it is realistic. A 29 year old struggling Devin Harris is not enough to tempt Phoenix to make this deal.

After a year, maybe two of competing(but probably not winning it all), we would literally be back to square one building around Big Al.  I'm not a fan of this scenario.
