This is what I'm thinking, Trev is going to go for that payday now, the only real upgrade the Cavs will have is Shaq.

I mean all the other elite squads are getting better...Lakers, Boston (assuming they get Sheed), Spurs, Orlando (maybe). Cavs may be out of luck.

I think players might be scared that LBJ bolts after this upcoming season.

I'm too lazy to find the cavs offseason thread but a cav fan can put that in there

 

[westcoastsfinest]

i was kinda hoping ariza will go to a lottery team and get paid...he deserves the money....miss ya trev

 

[got shoes]

Damn Ariza, you should of took the offer fam. You will be missed.

 

[mercutio]

Bittersweet that he's most likely gone from LA. I wonder where he'll go. For cash or an opportunity to play with LBJ and talk about how different it isplaying with him vs. Kobe.

I've read this also, and if that's the case there's nobody to blame but LeBron. All this NY ++$+$*+# is teasing more than Ohio, and LeBronthinks it's a big game. Next year we're going to have the cap space to sign LeBron AND another max player, but with his blue-balling who the hell knowswhat's going on? Not to mention the numerous years with Larry Hughes were brought on by nobody other than LeBron, which crippled us on the court and in capspace. I was iffy on CV coming here, but Artest would have been a great fit...and I really hope LeBron's GM skills of *+%$%!$ texting a guy to come to yourteam get put to rest real quick. I'm seriously pissed...even if we get Ariza...and now our frontcourt is going to be based on guys who are filing forSocial Security benefits and guys who can barely buy alcohol...dear God I hope I'm wrong...

I kinda still want Ariza back. Hopefully Artest will inspire him to take less money.

Ariza

Trevor Ariza has made a verbal commitment to sign with the Houston Rockets, according to sources close to the process.

The 6-foot-8 Ariza averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists for the Lakers last season, which ended with the NBA championship.

With at least five teams pursuing Ariza, the Lakers appeared unwilling to pay him more than the $5.6 million mid-level exception.

Signing > verbal

The Cavs keep taking L's this offseason. Last season was Shaq's last productive season IMO, every center has one last productive season before theirskills completely diminish. I don't know who is left that can help this team. Sheed maybe? but that would add another 30 something to an ancient roster.

hahahaha i bet ariza feelin hella salty now... tried to get greedy with the lake show and now is on a bumb @++ team... no yao no tmac...

 

[shoehd]

ariza to houston? at least not cleveland

 

[denni5themenace]

ariza taking the MLE from another team? the same offer that the lakers tried to give him?

dumb %@# agents

 

[gaseousfashion]

Houston? Really? I wonder what his deal is...

 

[Los Angeles]

Ariza needs to FIRE his agent.

 

[ryda421]

ariza is a +@#$%## idiot

 

[iminchucks5]

ariza signing with houston for the MLE..

%@@??? is his problemLOL..his agent is an idiot and ariza better fire that fool ASAP

 

[kingjames23]

 

[kash55]

Wow, I guess Ariza doesn't care about winning. Houston? Idiot!

 

[gingersaintbad]

The articles I have read make it sound like Ariza wanted out since the Lakers wouldnt start talking about a contract higher then the MLE. In all actuality, hehad one good year and thinks he deserves more money than $5.8 a year. For that same money I'd take Ron Ron. Fish, Kobe, Ron, Pau, and Bynum is a scary teamon both sides of the ball.
