I know they'd need to take a big salary back to match Lewis', but I'd rather have Quentin Richardson than Crawford. Their contracts are nearly identical, except Crawford's got one more year at $10 mil. Q's deal expires after 09-10, which is the same year that deals expire for Allen, Watson, Ridnour and Wilkens. Get Q lined up in there and they're set to have huge caproom in the offseason that Lebron, Wade and Bosh come up.
The bigger issue though is that this deal would basically boil down to Lewis for 3 spare parts. Lewis is one notch below being an all-star and I think he could fetch a much better player.

I wouldn't call them spare parts. Lee was a double/double guy in just his second year in the league and would have been in the running for 6th man of the year had he stayed healthy.
Crawford could use a coach that could rein in his shot selection but he's a really explosive 2-guard
As far as Nate, he would be a bit redundant but it's not hard to move a point guard. There's always somebody looking for a good back up.
Also, I wouldn't touch Quinton Richardson because of his back.
I don't know if there's anything to this but it wouldn't be terrible for either team.
