OT Ariza - New Orleans bound

[Jase]

NOLA trades Collison + Posey for Ariza.

Would Lakers fans have taken that deal last July (Ariza s-n-t for Posey and Collison's rights)?

No one knew that Collison would be this good back then.

Now what do the Hornets do if CP3 bolts for New York City?

thats 2 yrs down the road, alot of things can change in 2 yrs.

Agree with LApwnd. In 06 and 07 it didnt look like the Lakers would be competing anytime soon... 3 consecutive finals appearances later... Hornets still have Peja's expiring to play with... they still have 2 years to make something happen

Dumb trade by NO. Good PG like Collison is not that easy to find. Paul is going to bolt anyway.

So they have 2 years to make things work around Paul, and if he leaves then Collison wasnt going to save them from sucking anyway. He's a solid player.. maybe will make a couple all star games in the future but he wouldnt save them from the lottery if Paul left... Might as well see what happens with Paul who is already a superstar

RealGM reported there was some chemistry issues between Ariza and Brooks. I wonder what the deal was...

to much chucking? Brooks looks like a chucker to me too, he's another one of those SG in a PG body.
