Tracy may not even come back i would not bank too much on it. Then again who knows he was dunking the ball off the same knee before a preseason game. The question is how long can it hold up? Through a course of a season let's say he shoots 40% from 3 at 3.5 makes a night like last season and shoots the ball 15 shots a night then that would put him in around. 21 a night so 17-18 is achievable and realistic. He could shoot 7-15 and 3 of those are 3 pointers which is 9 points in 3 shots and the other 4 shots is 8 points so 17 is about correct which would have atleast doubled what he did last season, but with even more minutes 30-33 range his numbers are expected to rise it's a matter of efficiency for him.
By banking on Ariza i didnt mean in terms of money. I meant they expected him to be the main guy, he was a great deal in terms of money. The fact is you put Ariza with a good playmaker like Tmac and he'll do well but I dont think hes ready to create his own shot yet. Im not trying to dog on Ariza expectations, but you cant tell me that you guys arent a little bit disappointed?
I don't see where you get that the Rockets expect to Ariza to produce like Kobe for the MLE. I may have missed it.
