    Apparently 1 year $1.5x10^7 is not an overpay.

    Or just maybe Washington doesn't want to overpay their young player this summer.

    Washington fans not happy.

    So . . .we should have signed Ariza. . . just to trade him for Oubre and Rivers?

    Washington wasn't likely going to re-sign Oubre. But they got nothing from him asset wise moving forward. Not even a 2nd round pick. Ariza "may" help them get to the playoffs. But then will bolt.

    Suns keeping Oubre long term? They have a ton of wings, so seems unlikely.

    The trade doesn't even help the Wizards LT situation.

    Strange trade TBH.

    Not a good look for Tilman if this is what Ariza was worth.

    It depends.

    He's an All time great if he's going to the Lakers. Otherwise he's a past his prime, overly expensive scrub.

    I confess that I ate at a Tilman owned restaurant maybe 2-3 times last year. If you're looking for someone to blame for Tilman being broke, blame me.

    That scrub is still reportedly coveted by a number of playoff teams

    I know I want him back. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous the media narrative is.

    DA thinks Oubre still could be "re-routed." Interesting.

    Ariza is a glue guy, if anyone can help turn the team around in washington it would be him, hell houston would be of been better if Ariza came back here threw knights contract.

    No, Ariza is fine.

    Ariza returns to the Wizards, where the organization sees him as an important addition to a fractured locker room -- and a teammate that All-Star point guard John Wall deeply respects. The Wizards were among Ariza's top-tier free-agent considerations in July, but Phoenix's one-year, $15 million offer was too irresistible of a financial score.
