Per Rockets' Twitter: JERSEY NEWS: @TrevorAriza will be going back to #1 for the Rockets while @SiP03 will be sporting #0 this season. #RedNation
Sources are telling me he's very offended, have been told he's already dialing Cubans number. Will keep you guys updated
Uh oh, last time a Rockets player gave up his jersey number for a newly signed free agent, it was Bev switching to #2 so Dwight could wear #12. And that ended with.....absolutely nothing happening.
There's something more to Ariza just returning, sort of a sense of retribution. I feel good about this.
Luke 6:29 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.
I can't wait to see Ariza play. If he can keep his 3 % somewhat close, and keep up his solid defense, he'll be a huge addition to this team. We had two of the worst defenders playing side by side last year. I wonder how big of a change it'll be to add an above average defender in Ariza, with hopefully a more focused and determined defender in Harden. Not only in one on one iso plays, but rotation plays as well. We were out of position a good 'bit on defense because of Harden and Parsons last year. Hopefully that will change this year. As for the topic at hand, wonder what number Canaan will go to.
All GARM threads being in the end a Lin thread is something I have found to be one of Clutchfans truisms since I registered.
We now have three elite defenders in our starting 5, if Harden and Jones play solid D and we hire a defensive associate head coach, we could be one of the top defensive teams in the league next season. That's huge.
