Ariza doing a lot of damage control on LA radio saying that he never wanted to leave LA and it's just business. I guess that's understandable. The LA announcers were very leading with their line of questioning. I'm guessing when Ariza shows up in Houston, he'll say Houston was exactly where he wanted to go.
Nice to hear confirmation that the deal is done...Love his take on our players and our never say die attidude!
How did they screw up? From what Ariza says, it sounds like the Lakers just didn't want him. He says from what he understands, they didn't even make an offer, they just got Artest. How did he and his agent screw up? Just curious...
Well reports are that he/agent turned down MLE offer at the beginning because they wanted alot more money. His agent kept referring to 8+ million for Ariza. The fact that he kept saying, "From what I understand" speaks volumes to me. What kind of agent doesn't let his player know exactly what went on? Either that or he is just spinning it a little bit to not look bad.
Making $8 million in L.A. is pretty much the same as making about $5 million in Houston. He's making more than that with us.
ROFLMAO, have you ever venture out of Houston.? need sorely need to expand your horizon. actually, they're overjoyed by the acquisition of Artest, whose worst year in the NBA was way better than Arizza's best year. they concluded that, next to the Gasol acqusistion, this swap for the steal of the century so far.
Artest is not a steal of the century as they perceive him to be. When he demands the ball more often, and shoots his ugly fade aways they will come to sense. All hell let loose.
Fans forget so fast what Ariza did He hit some huge shots for them in the playoffs.. This trade is no where lopsided as the Gasol trade, but what do you expect it's LA
Except for that silly, little detail that there was no trade in this case. Do we really think Morey would swap Artest straight up for Ariza if he was under club control?
Brooks posted on twitter (thirty2zero) that him and Ariza were room mates for an allstar game back in high school, is this true? ...and is that brooks real twitter??????????
