He's on the Kings, who are terrible...he can't be hard to pry away. I don't care that he's 34. I don't care that's he's shooting poorly to start the season in Sacramento. The defense has not been the same since he left. Even before CP got here, the defense was light years ahead of where we are now. You can actually play small-ball successfully with Trev because he's 6'8 and a good rebounder. It would automatically improve our bench, because you would have both House and EG as options instead of one or the other. He's obviously not the whole solution, but I think he could definitely help.
Trevor would likely fix nothing at this point, and he probably has no interest in coming here to cover other players asses on D, dude got paid, won a chip already and will probably retire quietly in a couple of seasons.
He could be a buyout candidate at the deadline with the way the Kings look. That being said, Ariza ain't fixing this team.
Ariza isn’t going to fix this defense. When you have a James harden who don’t play defense and whoever he is guarding score the same amount of points as him, the team will continue to lose.
If you really think James Harden is the only problem on defense you really need to get your eyes checked.
Not directed at OP but please stop trying to put 2017 back together. It's not happening. Stop with the "Bring back Luc! Bring back Ariza!" It's been over a year+ and every month/other month there's threads on bringing back Luc (who hasn't even played) and Ariza and Faried(from 2018 team)... Luc is gone. Trevor is gone. Chris is gone. Jeff B. is gone. It's over. It can't be put back together again.
nah he's old, he can't guard anyone anymore. he would just increase our numbers of bricks from 3 point line....
The only way Ariza ends up here is if he gets bought out... and why would he come to this shitty situation when he can bandwagon onto the Lakers or Clippers.
You may wanna get your eyes checked if you don't see the level of carelessness Harden has of defense. Yes we're struggling as a team. But the difference is Harden's repeatedly falling asleep on defense, while others are getting caught up on switches. Switches can be corrected. Falling asleep & letting Myers Leonard get baskets over & over is unacceptable. He's not being held accountable
