Well, Bass is a little under-sized...isn't he?? And Ariza, I don't know much about him. So, if you could help me a little, to know more about him, that'd be great!!
I am not throwing in the towel. I said the Spurs would take this series in seven and I am stilll sticking to that. No because I hope I am right, but because I don't want the Spurs to be eliminated.
However, regardless of what happens, its obvious the Spurs have several needs this off-season. I hope the off-season is later than sooner. I like Bass' game and I like Ariza's game. I think the Spurs should make a run at them or one of them.
Give me your thoughts.

Why not?
Not a bad choice on going for Trevor Ariza, but i would rather stay with gooden then go for Bass.
I'd like Ariza, but I don't see it happening.
Should? yes
Can? No
No. Too young.
(j/k)
I don't know much about the other guy but they won't get Ariza. I think Ariza intends to stay in LA given his choice and I'm sure the Lakers will try to keep him if possible.
Ariza still is not consistent in playoff games yet
Bass no
Ariza Yes
Why go after Bass or Ariza when you can have the Gist?
. The season isn't even over yet, and we already have all sorts of names thrown around here. I can't even think what the summer is going to be like...
I think the spurs have a better shot at Odom than Ariza.
i could see that being possibly true
the lakers love ariza and somehow i doubt they will let him go
at the same time i doubt odoms going anywhere
and i'd say dallas will re-sign bass
this threads already been done before
/thread
I don't think the lakers could afford to keep both Odom and Ariza one of them will go.
Ariza, Bowen, and Gist at SF makes me pretty happy. But that means we have less resources to upgrade at PF/C, as Ariza will likely command full MLE over several years with his recent performance. The Lakers may be reticent to pay out that much after signing Vujacic to a similar deal last year.
No Odumb for me, thanks.
I'd love it if the Spurs went after Ariza, except for:
1. He'll likely be looking for at least an MLE deal and I fear he'd be out of the Spurs price range.
2. I cannot see any scenario by which Fakers owner, Jerry Buss, allows him to walk. I believe Buss would sooner allow Lamar Odom to walk than Ariza.
I really like Ariza, but there is absolutely no way he ends up on the Spurs. Just think about the series of events that would have to take place for it to happen.
1. Ariza must not receive an offer in excess of the MLE from a team with cap space.
2. Spurs must clear enough space under the lux tax to make a full MLE offer.
3. Spurs must be willing to spend the entire MLE on Ariza
4. Lakers must refuse to make a comparable offer.
5. Even if you get this far, Ariza would have to prefer an MLE offer from the Spurs over an MLE offer from every other NBA team that may think he is worth the MLE. If Boston, Miami, or Dallas offer the same deal, what are the chances that he chooses the Spurs?
Its like drawing to an inside straight and, even if you hit it, the other guy already has a flush.
Neither of these guys is going anywhere. Ariza and Bass have proven to be perfect fits on their teams. The Lakers and Mavs will re-up, and they won't pay a fortune either.
the only way Bass doesn't re-up with the Mavs is if a team with lots of space really wants him.
I would trade Gooden for Bass if Dallas want an even trade. Bass is shorter, but he's quicker and very strong for a small forward.
Ariza FTW
The Basshole isn't going anywhere. Neither is Ariza. You'll just continue to be old and sign Rasheed or some over the hill scrub.
For that to happen the Spurs would have to trade Manu, go several million dollars over the lux tax or have a 13 man roster that included seven minimum salary rookies. Which assumption are you working under?
