Even though NBA free agency is basically over with all the big-names signing new deals after Tracy McGrady signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Pistons, a few teams around the league were still not content with their current rosters as the New Orleans Hornets, Houston Rockets, New Jersey Nets and Indiana Pacers chose to make a blockbuster trade.

The two biggest names involved in the recent four-team trade was Darren Collison and Trevor Ariza. With only one year in Houston and New Orleans, Collison and Ariza are already on the move as the promising young point guard will be headed to the Indiana Pacers and the defensive minded Ariza will be playing alongside Chris Paul next season.

Despite every team involved in this trade losing very good players, I believe all four teams will ultimately get better as a result. Along with Ariza and Collison heading elsewhere, Troy Murphy, Courtney Lee and James Posey will also be wearing a different jersey next season.

The two-time NBA champion James Posey will be playing with Darren Collison in Indiana next season while Courtney Lee will be headed to the Houston Rockets. Troy Murphy on the other hand will head to the New Jersey Nets.

Personally, I believe the Indiana Pacers have become a much better team in this deal as they have finally found the kind of point guard they have been looking for over the past couple of years. It is no secret that the Pacers have been shopping for a point guard for some time now, but they lucked out by getting arguably one of the most promising young point guards in the league in Darren Collison who played great in place of All-Star Chris Paul last season.

Along with Collison, the Pacers have also gotten a veteran shooter and defensive threat in James Posey to play either alongside or behind leading scorer Danny Granger. The Pacers may still struggle next season with their new additions, but they are much improved and could be playoff bound if the team comes together early.
