Why is Ariza still playing so many minutes?

    I am still baffled by this. He is 32 years old now and shouldn't be logging in that many minutes. We have Luc and we have tucker now who should be able to give the man rest. Ariza is a different player after getting rest. He needs to start getting treated like an older vet at this point.

    It takes new players about a month to get acclimated into a new system.

    Things tend to work themselves out.

    Dude , last year he would have played 40 in both games .

    B2B and Chris Paul being out caused him to play "this many mins "

    It really wasn't that bad

    Agreed, but I think his minutes will drop as LMM and Tucker get acclimated. Especially if those 2 guys obliterate their career 3pt%.

    Getting his stats up for the always-impending Morey megatrade.

    i don't think he's going anywhere unless we get an all-star back. i think he's going to play another contract here on a reasonable deal here to finish out his career. its hard to replace someone like him for the price he gets paid.
