Appears they will buy out TJ Ford. Love that Arizia was traded as well.

Good trade

Ariza to the Hornets could work
Love this trade for the Pacers as well

Just curious...do people really think the Rockets are going to contend with LA anymore??

You lose Ariza, who is pretty versatile, and you get Lee. A back up in every sense of the word.

I'm not sure I do this trade if I'm the Hornets. I feel that its only a matter of time before Paul leaves that team. Even though Thornton and Collison are undersized I think that they make a pretty decent backcourt.

Decent move by the Hornets. You have 2 PGs and an opportunity to get a guy like Ariza? You gotta do it.

I don't like the trade for the Rockets at all. The Nets are just ehh, can't complain one way or the other. But the Pacers made out pretty well.
