    The price is right. I hope Ariza plays better than I fear and proves my doubts about him wrong.

    8 mil per year isn't bad at all.

    I'll definitely take it.

    Ariza is WAY better value than Parsons at $15 million.

    This is a solid move now Parsons and Harden don't have to play 38 minutes every night.

    We still have to address our issue at the 1 and 4

    Let's say both Parsons and Harden play 35 minutes each next season - that would be a good thing to keep them fresh for the playoffs and reduce injuries. That would leave 26 minutes for Ariza right there. Now Harden could play some point, Parsons could play some PF. It wouldn't be tough for Ariza to get 35 minutes per game.

    Again, please god MATCH PARSONS. And then think about something for our PF spot. Maybe Chicago amnesties Boozer and we can still sign him...

    $8 is good value for the defensive minded Ariza if he plays like he did last year. Good shooter, good defender. Fills a need and most importantly...it's a tradeable contract!

    Ariza plays defense? I would've given Pierce this contract, even 4 years..so again, Morey declined Dragic because of a PO in year 4 and signs Ariza for 4 years, just like that? Cannot wait to see ppl defending Morey on this one..

    Wasn't either-or.

    Could have kept both plus the picks we sent to LA.
