[h1]Hornets land Ariza in four-team trade[/h1]
By Marc J. Spears, Yahoo! Sports 8 minutes ago





The New Orleans Hornets acquired Trevor Ariza(notes) Wednesday in a four-team, five-player trade that also sends point guard Darren Collison(notes) to the Indiana Pacers, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The deal also sends Pacers forward Troy Murphy(notes) to the New Jersey Nets and Nets guard Courtney Lee(notes) to the Houston Rockets. In addition to landing Collison – the young point guard they’ve been searching for all offseason – the Pacers also have to take on forward James Posey(notes), who has two years and $13.5 million remaining on his contract.



The Rockets signed Ariza to a five-year, $35 million contract a year ago, but have since acquired guard Kevin Martin(notes). Trading him should keep them from paying a substantial luxury-tax bill this season.

ESPN.com first reported the proposed trade.

LOVE this trade for the Nets. Murphy is a perfect complement to Lopez (although he's a detriment to the run-and-gun offense Harris is better suited for), but he's another shooter and he grabs rebounds. PLUS he comes off the books in 2011, giving us back the cap room we are eating to take him this year.

Other than financial reasons, how does this benefit the Rockets? They now have too many SGs and bum SFs like Jared Jeffries and Jordan Hill. I really wish they'd trade Battier to a contender like the Celtics. He deserves to be a champion.
