    Ariza to HOU

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4303862

    I'm sorry but WTF are you doing man. LA offered you the same contract, unless it was falsely reported. And then of all teams you go to HOU. Are you slow?

    It's just disappointing because Trev was one of my favorites, hometown kid with a quiet and humble demeanor.

    Like others said in the top thread, why not go to POR?? You're slow. POR would have been a damn perfect fit for him, a perfect compliment to Roy.

      [does it matter lol]

      Like someone else pointed out in the other thread, in this economy $$$ > rings, playing with superstars. I wanna see what Portland offered him first though because if they offered him less money, I can't really blame him, to be honest.

        I hate being that guy.

        The guy who makes a thread about what's already been discussed for hours..

        But damn I'm that guy.

        It was good times Trev, I really don't know what the Hell happened. At least go to POR though man.. jesus.

        I guess we'll never know how much Trev was offered, but the point is LA offered him the same money. I'm assuming CLE offered him the same money.

        It's not a terrible guess that POR and TOR offered him more money.

            He didn't get extra dough though did he? Didn't he get the same contract LA offered?

              I thought Cleveland was only offering him MLE, if they even offered him anything?

                Apparently LA never offered anything.

                  Well CLE only had the MLE, it was never reported they offered him that. LA offered him the MLE

                  Really? Link? There were multiple reports that LA offered him the MLE. Unless they were false

                    from ricbucher

                    Ariza/his agent overplayed their hand. LAL said see what u can get + get back to us. That's how a buyer's market works.

                      Ehh, Bucher can kick rocks man.

                      I believe the multiple reports that LA offered Trev the 5.7 Mill a year MLE over Bucher. There were also multiple reports that Trev was offended by LA's MLE offer.

                      Of course I'm not mad at Trev if he wanted that dough. You're young and your stock is good. However if LA offered you the same thing as HOU, then come on Trev, you're slow. We'll know the truth soon I'm sure.

                        If LA and Cleveland only offered him MLE and Houston offered you MORE money than both of them, then common sense is going to say take that offer and then I don't blame him one bit lol.

                        And looking at this from his eyes, I can see a few reasons why he also chose Houston over Portland.

                          So you're saying HOU offered him more money? I asked that like twice already. From what I'm reading he's getting paid the same amount as LA offered.

                            Someone post the terms for his Houston contract(if available) and the offer from LA(if available).

                              ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan reports that Ariza, according to sources, will receive the Rockets' full mid-level exception, which is being projected to come in at $5.8 million for next season. If the exception for the 2009-10 season is indeed set at $5.8 million Wednesday when the league announces next season's salary cap and luxury tax, Ariza's deal would be worth $33.5 million.

                              If you click the link I posted, Marc Stein speaking says LA offered him a contract starting at $5.8, the MLE, which is exactly what HOU signed him to.

                              Stein says that Ariza thought his playoff performance would make LA offer him more than the MLE. When LA said no, Trev shopped himself to other teams.
