Perhaps a free agent if he opts out of relatively small contract.

[honestfool84]

isn't he supposed to be good at defense?

perhaps meaning NOT good at offense?

[exstatic]

Insanely athletic, insanely good rebounder, no jumper to speak of.

[T Park]

Perfect player for the Spurs to bring.

Doubt he wants to leave his hometown though.

[tav1]

I'm an advocate of the Spurs splitting the MLE, and, in my perfect world, one slice would go to Ariza.

No jumper, it's true. But he's a very good defender, uber-athletic, a good rebounder and gets to the rim. I think his jumper is one good shooting coach away from being decent.

The best part about his defense is that he is super long but has the lateral foot speed to guard points. In other words, he could spot defend Chris Paul.

I'm not sure the Lakers will resign him with Sasha and Turiaf in the offing and the coming extensions of Farmar and Bynum.

[SenorSpur]

The Spurs have had chances to get this guy before, but they didn't. I would be surprised if they were interested now.

agreeed, he would help though..

Yes, I forgot about that. Mitch Kupchack did do something of his own merit last season.

[tav1]

Ariza has earned the right to opt out tonight. I just hope he doesn't play his way to the full MLE.

[Sigz]

Hit a corner 3 tonight....

If he can work to make that shot more consistent, why not.

[DazedAndConfused]

You're not getting Trevor Ariza or Sasha Vujacic or even Ronny Turiaf. They are going to be Lakers for a long time coming.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

You're not getting Trevor Ariza or Sasha Vujacic or even Ronny Turiaf. They are going to be Lakers for a long time coming.

The only one I wanted was Ariza, but even then, it's possible to replace him if we missed out on him.

[Mr. Body]

Lakers have to keep these guys, I agree. They gave up some draft picks in the Gasol collusion, although I'm sure Stern and West, wherever he is next, will gin up another All-Star for Free package.

[1Parker1]

I don't want any Laker in a Spurs uniform. Including Kobe :pctoss

[picnroll]

Bass is going to carry a payroll like Dolan. Riiiigghhhttt. lmfao

[tav1]

Well, before tonight, my dream offseason, in terms of free agency, was something on par with Buike and Ariza for a split MLE, but that seems impossible now.

And don't listen to the Laker fans. If they're serious, it's because they're stupid. Their team doesn't have the cash to resign Turiaf, Ariza, and Sasha Isadick, especially with the coming max extension to Bynum.

That's ok. You can keep them.

[remingtonbo2001]

Ariza is going to be our Bruce Bowen... with much more athleticism.

Minus the focus and dedication.

[The Truth #6]

The Spurs really need someone with neck tattoos. Ariza just might be the best way to solve that.

[SenorSpur]

Ariza is going to be our Bruce Bowen... with much more athleticism.

....and less on-the-ball defensive tenacity.

How did you feel about Horry in 2004?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

How did you feel about Horry in 2004?
I don't know about 1P1's opinion, but Horry is an exception. He already had a reputation after he left the Rockets. I considered him the guy that helped Olajuwon win, when he came to the club.
Oh yeah, and the Lakers abandoned him anyway, so whatever.

So far right now, the new scrubs havent' all been tainted by Laker org.
By they are becoming bitches this year before our very eyes. (i.e. Farmar and Sasha fighting over the ball in game 3 :lmao)

[angelbelow]

would be a nice fit to replace bowen..

[MoSpur]

1Parker1 not wanting Kobe??? Wait a minute...I can't stand the Lakers, but if the Spurs could have Kobe, I'm all for it.

[CavsSuperFan]

Bruce Bowen is tough & durable…Not a fair comparison…

[Sissiborgo]

I'd like to see spurs sign him

[Bruno]

I'd like to see spurs sign him

He isn't a FA this summer.

[MoSpur]

I thought he was. Did the Lakers sign him o an extension?

No, he had a player option for the next year and he picked it two weeks ago.

[King K]

Ronny Turiaf is gone!

[spurman20]

They will go after him next year but someone else will over pay for him

[Spurs16212]

So I guess you did not want Robert Horry when he came over.... I like Ariza to the Spurs.... If R.C has the opportunity and he wants to come here... Sign him....

Ariza already picked up his option to return to the lakers in 2008-2009[/thread]

[iggypop123]

ariza will be a laker this season. he picked up his option a long time ago
