Pacers get Collison, Posey in 4-way deal (AP)

[The Question]

The Indiana Pacers have acquired point guard Darren Collison and forward James Posey from New Orleans in a four-way trade that also includes New Jersey and Houston. The Pacers also announced Wednesday they have dealt Troy Murphy to the Nets, who sent guard Courtney Lee to Houston. To complete the trade, the Rockets shipped swingman Trevor Ariza to New Orleans.

What???????

The Pacers are loaded, the Hornets are stupid, and the Rockets and Nets are not important.

The Hornets gave up on a future rising star in Collison. But at least they got rid of Posey and his horrible contract. Ariza is a way better player and will help the Hornets out more. At least this trade is giving Chris Paul some help. The Nets got better and acquired a potential 20/10 guy. The Rockets gave up on their prize free agent acquisition from last year for Courtney Lee? Where does Lee fit it? Kevin Martin is the starting SG. I guess this means Shane Battier moves back to starting small forward. The Pacers shedded salary and got their main need in a starting point guard.
