Ariza will better against the top small forwards in the nba especially in the playoffs. Parsons and Harden don't need to be starting together we need a break up right there. We need to improve the defense.
Would Ariza be willing to sign here as a sixth man? If so, signing him to back up Parsons and Harden would be a great move.
How much money do you think Ariza is getting? I'd say about 8-12 mil is his range. We have cap space still.
I think we are good on PG. James is the PG. Okafor and Ariza please. This team can score, but it needs some defensive help.
Rumor is that Ariza is willing to take anywhere from 9-11 million per year. I thought we had like 20 million in cap space? Is that not true?
Talent over need, just like every smart team does? Plus, nobody knew on Draft Night the Kings were still that dumb and let Isaiah walk for nothing.

well if Deng is getting something 'close to the Parsons contract' as being reported than Ariza might be eyeing a higher pay day as well. Also, Wizards can still up their offer, Dallas might throw more money at him and so his incentive to give Houston a discount (or sig. less than parsons) is diminished. Also, he has to be wondering if he won't just become another Morey asset--like before--and is probably thinking twice about resigning with us.
Ariza isn't coming off the bench for 9-11 million. What you guys are proposing is.. Harden Ariza Parsons Jones Dwight starting lineup or Bev Harden Ariza Parsons Dwight
We are toying with Dallas. That's the reasons for this, and the Ariza story. We aren't signing Ariza, and we probably will match Parsons.
This team is making a push for the championship. If we push it to the last second, it's to squeeze out every ounce of cap available to give to free agents tomorrow, and to keep Dallas from going after Deng/Ariza for the longest time possible.
First thing morey needs to do is wipe the egg off his face. This dude still hasn't learned that you can't build a championship team by just chasing big names. He's burning bridges with both players and agents again
