Here's my wildest one yet. Bear with me.

Jazz get Orlando unprotected first, the worse of Denver & NYK 2014 first, and odd protection Phili 1st.(1)
Why for Jazz? Big Baby will make a nice 3rd big for $6.4. Turk sucks 12mm off and could be bought out. Harrington's deal is only 50% guaranteed the next two seasons, about $3.6mm each. Total Jazz salary next summer would be roughly $40.5 after buying out Harrington, could drop $800k in Murphy, and might get a $million discount on Turkoglu. $9.8mm(2) is a bit to pay for three poor picks but the Jazz are in a position to afford it and still have roughly $20mm in cap space this offseason, 3 first round lottery picks to wheel and deal, and more picks in the pipeline to sweeten any future trades with. There's a lot of room in there to either move up in the draft or make a Harden type trade to complete a young core.
Why for Orlando? These picks are not that good. Orlando is currently 9th worst overall. They also have little cap room(3) and being dragged down by Turk & Harrington's deals. This gives them bird rights on Bynum (S&T options if nothing else) and $25mm in cap room while finally clearing the books on trying to please Dwight Howard. A core of Jameer, Afflalo, Vucevic, and Bynum if he were to sign wouldn't be bad. The alternative now is no cap space, a late lotto pick in a weak draft, 3 more years of Harrington and Baby, and no cap space to improve.
(1)
(2) -- 12mm Hedo + 7.2 Harrington - 5.9 total salary change between this season and Marvin's contract next year - $3.5 Raja.
(3) -- Up to $9.5mm with a Harrington buyout.
