eh...still trying to make sense of this.
It will probably take you a while..you aren't exactly the smartest guy around..
No idea why Rockets would do this unless Morey wanted to get rid of Ariza's contract. TBH I want to see how Ariza plays with Yao before making any hasty trades.
I think Cliff Lee was already traded to the Texas Rangers...
Well if it's not just to dump Ariza's contract, maybe the Rockets think Chase is the real deal and want him to get starter minutes. Or maybe they don't have much faith in Kevin Martin and have started to sour on him already.

Here's the link to the 4 team Hornets-Rockets-Pacers-Nets deal. Looks like NO is keeping CP3 http://es.pn/9kxM7n
wtf why is NO trading Collison away just to get rid of Posey's bad contract. That's seriously re ed.
So NO gives up Posey and Collison and many see Posey as salary dump, yet they take back more money back in Ariza and his 4yrs on his deal while giving up there 2nd best trading chip. WTF is NO doing here?
Possibly to keep Paul happy (knowing he will be the main PG in N.O.) so he doesn't go to NY
They kept CP3 but they traded Collison. Who's backing CP3 now?
Cuz they kinda have the best PG in the league, and Ariza s on Posey of these days.
Hornets playoffs now (if healthy, big if)
Damn Pacers got over on everyone...

Hou,NJ, NO, Indy trade done and trade call taking place now, source tells Y!. Hou gets C Lee, NO gets Ariza, Indy Collison-Posey, NJ Murphy
WTF? This is a horrible trade! Ariza sucks with a terrible contract! Are you kidding me?

Now the Nets have 3 decent PF/C: Lopez, Favors, and Murphy
PG: Harris, Farmar
SG: Williams, Morrow
SF: Outlaw, Damion James
PF: Murphy, Favors
C: Lopez, Petro,
Not the best but they have a much better lineup than last season

The Pacers are negotiating a buyout with T.J. Ford's agent on the $8.5 million owed the point guard this season, league sources tell Y!.
ESPN is already building this up as a "to keep Paul happy" trade (they see the name Ariza, realize he's a former and recent Laker and automatically pretend he's the biggest name or part of the deal). But why would it? Sure, it allows them to play their five best players in a more conventional lineup now and they were able to dump Posey's contract, but giving up Collison to add Ariza isn't going to make them a better team. Not significantly at least, to the point where they go from a non playoff team to a playoff team in one fell swoop.
I've got to think this sets up another trade for the Hornets, who are overloaded at SF but lacking depth in the back court. Wright could be next. Or Stojakovic...
I was thinking when McGrady signed with the Pistons that the Hornets would trade for Hamilton just to keep Paul happy. Hamilton and Wilcox for Stojakovic works financially. The Hornets could then move Thornton into a sixth man role, which is ultimately the role I think he's best suited for.
So he's gonna be the Hornets PG once CP3 leaves? Another stupid trade/FA signing by this organization. I don't care anymore. I'm out.
Hornets are desperate and Houston just admitted signing Ariza was a mistake. Good trade for the Pacers.
