Trade question from a Hornets fan

What'sgood Rip City? I had a trade idea that I wanted to toss around, and I was wondering if I could get some input from the Blazers faithful. Here it goes:

Marcus Thornton, Posey, Julian Wright and a first for

Rudy, Martell, and Outlaw.

Here's the deal: For us this makes sense becuase we get cap space and our wings for the future. Rudy and Martell are perfect compliments for CP, especially Rudy. He is a 2 guard with great handles so he can occasionally bring the ball up the floor, and he can shoot the 3 so he spaces the floor for Chris Paul. Our issues last year and this year revolved around an overeliance on CP, offensive predictability, and a lack of shot creators.  Also our offense is at its deadliest when our wings are hitting open 3 point j's. It opens up the floor for CP and forces wings to stay at home, and either double with a big or take CP one on one. Rudy is perfect becuase he is such a good ball handler and passer. His ability to bring the ball up the floor and pass prevents teams from doubling CP hard at the top of the key. Martell can play good D and hit the open 3 which is all we need from the 3.

Also, Outlaw probably will not be ready this year which is a shame, but his contract is expiring, which would save the Hornets about 4 million next year. It allows the Hornets to do a bit of a salary dump while saving face because we get some quality players in return.

For you guys, here's the deal. Thornton, is a scorer, plain and simple. He put the ball in the hole. That's about it. He's a good three point shooter, he draws fouls, he can score on pin downs, post ups, you name it. He also doesn't need alot of minutes to be effective. Perfect 6th man. He plays rookie d, and he isn't a really good passer but do you guys even need that stuff? 12 points in about 19 minutes a game.

You also get Julian Wright and Posey. Juju is not a scorer at all, but he does everything else, especially play d. He would essentially play the same role that Batum played. He can also play the 4 because of his length and his rebounding, so you guys would get a small ball 4. But again, he is not a scorer, and his turnover rate is pretty high. And then there is Posey. When Pose is on a good team is an utter gamer. Late threes, defensive reobunding, drawing charges. That's his game. He could also play the small 4 and has the added benefit of being a 3 point shooter. This would give you the floor spacer at the 4 that Outlaw provided. He is getting pretty old, and had a slow start, but has picked it up lately, and  is back to his old self. He has been the final piece for multple teams and he would give the Blazers added toughness and another clutch shooter even though they don't need one. He is also a vet, something you guys are a bit light on. You also get a pick, and there is a serious possibility that the Hornets don't make the playoffs so it could be a lottery pick.

There has been alot of talk about cohesion issues this year with your team. Trades don't usually help that, but the 2 players that you get in this trade will help immensely because of three reasons. First, they all know their role. Thornton, is a microwave scorer in limited minutes. Juju is a stopper. Posey is a playoff gamer. They know what they do well, they don't need to start, and their games are complimentary. For Posey and Juju, neither are big shooters, and both only take open shots. They both take care of your forward issues at the 3 or the 4. Nate seems to prefer a small 4, and they both can fit the bill.

Also, eventually, I think coming off of the bench will take a toll on Rudy. He has a starter's game. Yeah he can do the spark plug thing fine, but he doesn't score at a really high clip compared to a guy like Ginobili, or even Bayless, or even... Thornton. This role doesn't take as much advantage of his versatility, passing ,and dribbling skills, especially with Miller playing backup since he needs the ball in his hands to be effective. Also, his minutes will always be limited because he is backing up one of the best 2's in the game. His ability to play his natural position wil lalways be limited as long as he plays with Roy. Less a concern for the Blazers then for Rudy.

Okay, so what are your thoughts, am I crazy? I'd love to get some input form you guys,
