Gives them a nice offensive addition and defensive player

This is way too much for Nene in my opinion... he's a solid post scorer but his rebounding and shot blocking are below average for a starting C. I wouldn't pay him anymore than $12M/year, probably closer to the $10M/year range. Noah and Horford's deals will look amazing in comparison to Chandler/Nene/Gasol, so much for the new CBA destroying bad contracts.
