Ariza to Hornets?

I like the trade. I think it helps the Hornets chances of securing CP3 long term. It shows him the team is willing to take on salary to build a winner. Dumping Posey's $6.4MM/yr contract to pay your new 25 year old entering his prime starting 3 wingman for $6.3MM/yr is a great deal. The Hornets need to make a run at Earl Watson or Jannero Pargo however, as they have no backup for CP3 at this point.

Collison or CP3 had to go IMO. You can't have two starting PG's on your team when you have nothing on the wings besides Thornton.

Agreed. While I like Collison, you can't have both...I think this is a good move! Let's see what's next.
