"trevor is easily replaceable"

ask the other 29 teams in the L how "easy" it is to get a young atheletic wing player like trev

 

[mez 0ne]

LOL @ saying the MLE is too cheap an offer, guy is a role player.

Ok, I asked all 29 teams and they said he is replaceable.

Eric Broussard was saying last night, and I doubt this story is true, that Ariza felt it was a slap in the face to be offered the MLE and that he would now take another team's MLE to spite the Lakers. Sounds out of character but if it's true how does that make him look?

I really think (and hope) this is false. He knows damn well that the Lakers want both Odom and himself back. He should know that the Lakers needLamar! Would it be Ariza or Lamar I would take Lamar.

How is that his fault when you guys dont want to sign him??

We love him but he aint worth 30 mils. This guy is a hustle player. I just hate the rumor that he probably will go to Cavs or a contender team andthen pull a "Oh they traded me now i will make them regret" type of performance on the Lakers during playoff or Finals. I probably wont boo him butif go to Cavs for real then

to him Boo

IMO it's hard to say that Trevor is just a role player.

Dude is 24 and people are acting like he doesn't have room to grow

 

[irongreen22]

IMO getting MLE $ is considered getting "Paid".

 

[starbury03]

All i'm gonna say if the lakers really let Trevor go they are damn fools. He was the biggest blessing in disguise they've had in a LONG time.

 

[arrjae]

POSEY move??

nahh, but i think the cavs just want to respond to the 'Vince' trade....

 

[prettyplaya]

no ariza no rings in LA.

Ariza ain't leaving the lakers, unless Cleveland offers more money.
there's too much trouble involved w/ moving/switching cities for someone to do it unless the money is there.

[lazy b]

If Ariza leaves its because mgmt overpaid for Bynum at the beginning of the year. I'd rather let Bynum walk at the end of the year than Ariza.

 

[blackmamba08]

He's leaving

You @++@%*$ Cleveland fans are @++@%*$ delusional, I guess this is what losing does to a franchise.

According to ESPN, he's meeting with the Rockets




HOUSTON -- A person close to the situation tells The Associated Press that the HoustonRockets are meeting with Los Angeles Lakers forward Trevor Ariza.

The person, who did not want to be identified because the negotiations were ongoing, said Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was meeting with the freeagent in Las Vegas.

The meeting was first reported by KRIV-TV in Houston, which also said coach Rick Adelman was meeting with Ariza. The AP source could not confirm that.

David Lee, Ariza's agent, did not immediately return a phone message left bythe AP.

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.

If Ariza leaves... then he leaves. Ariza actually reminds me of a D. George. Look what happen to that bum. Look what happen to Mark Madsen.

I mean Ariza is probably a little better than those other Ex-Lakers that bailed for big $$ but seriously who was Ariza before he got with the Lakers? Was hedeserving of a max contract when he played with the Knicks or Orlando?

Lakers made Ariza to the player he is today. I doubt he will be able to play at the level he did with another team.
