    Yea, I'm curious. Who wins in that deal? I guess time will tell if it happens.

    Indiana, for sure. Murphy was an empty stat whore who played with zero effort last year. Filling a dire PG hole and trading away a malcontent is definitely a +.

    If Ariza is all it takes for NO to dump Collison, I'm disappointed that we can't get something done.

    Indiana and New Orleans are the clear winners, NO gets rid of Posey's old ass and replaces him with a very good wing defender who can go back to being a 4th option on offense where he's most comfortable and useful and Indiana finally gets a point guard which they desperately needed and sheds Murphy who apparently wanted out.

    Houston does OK too by adding another shooter to put on the wing, then New Jersey gets a decent stretch four, but I don't see this as a win for either team necessarily.

    Ariza has shown himself to be a pretty average player. I would have expected a lot more for a guy like Collison. Outside the fact that this trade eliminates any chance for them to trade away Paul, I don't consider NO a winner at all.

    Until 2012 when they lose him and don't have Collison to replace him. Beginning of the end for NO.

    No joke!

    Portland has to have made an offer to NO for Collison. Big mistake on management's part if they haven't.

    What are you talking about?

    You think Ariza is the missing piece?

    No way Chris Paul is placated (for more than a short time) by this move.

    You might be right. That said since they wanted a wing I definitely would NOT have given up Batum for Collison. If that's what NOH wanted passing was the right move.

    I look at several things on this trade:

    1. Houston had too many players at the same position which were good. They need to make their lineup more balanced. Lee is a good defender which will give them versatility to line up size wise with their competition.

    2. Ariza going to New Orleans will be just one of the moves New Orleans will try to make to keep Paul in town. He will fit well there, he just needed to go back to being a guy who was on the receiving end of passes instead of trying to make plays himself.

    3. Collison going to Indiana would be a huge upgrade and solve a big problem for them.

    4. The Loser? New Jersey. Troy Murphy blows ass.
