Great deal for the Pacers, amazingly stupid move for the Hornets- they should have kept Collinson as insurance in case they lose CP- or at least got a much better player than Ariza. Good move for Rockets too. I don't understand the trade at all from the Nets perspective- wouldn't of minded Murphy as a one season back up on our team though (only for his shooting and rebounding- I'd only of offered Curry)- don't see how he fits into the Nets plans.

I don't know- there must be more to this trade, surely- it doesn't make that much sense as it stands.

Yeah, giving up Collison for Ariza is just a bad trade. If that is all it took, we should have offered Chandler (who IMO is a better player than Ariza and is younger). NO should have at least have gotten a draft pick out of the deal.

The Hornets, Rockets, Pacers and Nets are on the verge of a four-team trade, according to a report from Chad Ford.

Darren Collison and James Posey would be sent to Indiana, Trevor Ariza would go to New Orleans, Courtney Lee would go to Houston, while New Jersey would receive Troy Murphy.

The deal is in the advanced stages, according to sources.

Collison & Posey for Trevor Ariza? that's horrible! we couldn't have made a better offer for Collison than that? that's a joke.

The question is were we willing to take Posey and send Chandler to New Orleans? Probably not.

of course not, that's cuz we're still in a damn holding pattern until Melo decides where he wants to go... we're passing up on a great young PG talent like Collison because we're too scared to take on any more longterm salary, which to me is ridiculous.

I would have done that trade in a heart beat. Then I would have packaged Posey with TD or Walker, $3 mill, and a future draft pick to get him off the cap to make a run at Melo. Collision is that good and he would be our longterm solution at the PG position.
