I see a pattern of Chinook overrating Spurs players and underratng other players. Now Ariza isn't that good? Com'on dude. Ariza would be an amazing fit for the backup swingman position on this team.

Dunno why you're generalizing based off this thread of all things. I said he'd be a good addition and defended him for half the thread against people saying he wouldn't. I'm saying that the Wizards don't want him and he's attainable. He's not good enough to have a high stock.Quote:

but if you said he'd be a good addition then nevermind :tu
I should have put "that" in all caps. He's a good fit for this team, but he does not have high stock. I mean, hell, he's been traded twice on this contract already.
imho a smallball 4 has to be able to defend every 4 aside from the gasols of the game. You can't be forced not to play him just because your opponent is playing amir johnson, can you?Quote:

At that time, Gasol had to be doubled every time he touched the ball. Also, Ariza's perimeter defense masked other deficiencies...primarily the fact that Bryant stopped playing real defense in about 2008, and simply coasted and cruised the passing lanes for steals (i.e. more points). The Lakers were stupid to let Ariza go, and signed Ron Artest to that long contract in an attempt to replace him.Quote:

who's to say he couldn't hold his own against a guy like Amir Johnson?Quote:

Lets be honest....its going to be blair for a second rounder. In that case we can just hope that it is the 31st pick in a pretty deep draft.
What about Jason Collins? (don't reply that he is gay)
He sucks...Quote:

Dude has never been anything but roster filler, a Geiko guy in case the entire roster gets hurt. The only discernible skill being a big body who plays passable D. No thanks.Quote:

We all know if Green was a free agent after last season he would be getting paid big time, Kawhi as well. And the Spurs gave that piece of shit Richard Jefferson 10 million dollars a season, there's no way you can convince anyway he is better than Ariza, so imo his contract isn't the issue here.Quote:

Also a great role player down in New Orleans. Lets not forget that stint.Quote:
