I still think this trade makes enough sense for New Orleans to consider it.
That is a good trade.

I know some would say both picks for Al .. but I will pre-correct them and say, either, please.
Al Jefferson, Bell and Earl Watson, for Deron S&T with the Nets. Problems solved.

I couldn't possibly see Jefferson going anywhere except to a bottom tier team desparate for offense.
New Orleans, Charlotte, Toronto, Cleveland - maybe Detroit.
What established playoff team has the time and inclination to try to work a player like Al into their set offense?
What about Big Al, Harris and future 2013 draft pick (top 5 protected) for Stuckey, Ben Gordon and their 2012 pick? We could probably land Austin Rivers with their pick or trade with the GSW pick and maybe move up to 4 and get Gilchrist. The Pistons get Big Al to team up with Monroe and a veteran PG in Harris to help Knight better transition into the NBA plus they get a future draft pick.
We get Stuckey and we could amnesty Gordon or keep him as he could be valuable off the bench since he can help spread the floor. While this isn't the most ideal trade as Stuckey is more of a combo guard than PG, both teams benefit from it. We get rid of Big Al and get an upgrade at PG
PG: Stuckey/Tinsley
SG: Hayward/Burks/Ben Gordon
SF: Gilchrist/Hayward/Caroll
PF: Millsap/Favors/Evans
C: Favors/Kanter
Our outside shooting is so woeful with that starting lineup I want to cry.
We could always sign one or two shooters if we get rid of Bell and don't resign Miles. Plus both Stuckey and Hayward aren't terrible shooters, they are just inconsistent at times and when they are inconsistent, you sub in some shooters..
Not to mention, we could always move Sap and Stuckey for a nice PG
