Hornets
Throw in the Warriors first round pick in 2012 that Utah has and another future first round pick and its not bad value for Paul. Okur is an expiring contract and yet can still provide some value in his 1 year left, at worst they swing him again to a contender for young prospects. Devin Harris is a top 10 pg easily and justifiably if he stays healthy. CJ Miles and Hansbrough are young, talented, albeit often inconsistent, players that the Hornets can build around and with only 6 players under contract currently they'll be primed for free agency in 2012. Hell even give them Ante Tomic from oversees if he ever pans out and comes over to the states word is he'll be pretty good.
They'll still need to figure out a way to get out of the contracts of both Ariza and Okafor but I'm sure one championship contender will bite on Okafor after seeing how a defensive center, Tyson Chandler, can drastically change title hopes. By getting rid one of them they suddenly have a ton of cap space, two future first rounders, and young talented players in what they net back from either Ariza/Okafor and CJ Miles, Hansbrough, and a healthy Devin Harris
I'm guessing David West is a lost cause, but if they can resign Carl Landry to a reasonable price he'll only add to their young rebuilding efforts.
Jazz
Jazz get their PG of the future in Paul and an all-star SF in Granger. At the same time they get rid of the log-jam at PF/C by dealing Okur and Jefferson. While dealing away both CJ Miles and Raja Bell puts a lot of pressure on the rookie Alec Burks and 2nd year man Hayward to have productive seasons any trade that nets you Chris Paul is a plus. Re-sign AK and Earl Watson to a reasonable price and the Jazz are set with a very promising mix of veterans and young players.
Pacers
Pacers get the post presence they've been lacking in Jefferson and veteran leadership in Raja Bell for a young team. In one year that terrible Posey contract is gone and they'll have a very talented core in Jefferson, George Hill, Collison, Hibbert, and at times Brandon Rush going into the future with a ton a cap space.
The Hornets get value for Paul before he bolts a sure fire high pick from the Jazz via the Warriors, along with another 1st round pick, young talent, and cap space. The Jazz get Paul and Granger enough said. The Pacers get Jefferson at the age of 25 going forward with their young core and cap space.
Wishful to say the last, but what do you think?
