    Thank God. Ariza has no business being traded unless a star is absolutely guaranteed coming.

    Ariza for cap space and Winslow (likely?) is pretty tempting though.

    Contenders want Ariza bad. Tremendous baller.

    In theory, yes, but how is trading Ariza, an absolute playoff stud last year, for a rookie helping us win a championship next year, though? We're in win now.

    With that wink after "big", I'm going to guess Rockets are trying to trade Ariza for a big.

    But

    We already kind of knew that.

    I am glad that Morey did not trade Ariza if it was not big. The only way I would trade Ariza is if LMA or Durant wants to come here.

    It likely wouldn't, and that's Morey held out. But it could of been, a potentially golden move. If Winslow turns out to be legit, and if we land a big free agent like Milsap, Love, Aldridge, Dragic.

    But those are all huge if's, to big to risk dumping Ariza.

    Precisely. It does make me wonder just how confident Morey is about getting a 3rd major piece if he was close to clearing out Ariza, though.

    Can't afford to lose Ariza, just can't afford to. We got so close, we don't have to have a third star.

    I love Ariza, but we all know about Morey and the third-star system, as learned from Boston, as seen in Miami....

    Golden State did not have a third and won the championship this year.

    They're going to be paying Green like a 3rd star.

    GSW had entire roster of role players. Most stacked team in the playoffs. GSW also had illegal screens. so thats that.

    Don't trade Ariza unless you know Aldridge is coming.

    Green is not a max player though. He is just a good role player.

    I agree that Golden State was just deep, but I was saying that the Rockets could be deep and win without a third star.
