You probably right KingJay, I'm sure someone will step up. PJ and Kobe will make a winner out of someone on that roster and Baked is the most likely.

I don't see many Laker fans undervaluing him, most of us are saying he's worth the MLE, but not the 7 to 10 mil his agent is trying to pryout of Buss.Originally Posted by LifeLessons
@ laker fans undervaluing him and cav fans overvaluing him......Ariza is worth nothing more then the MLE and even that is a stretch right now

ariza is nothing without a lebron, kobe, or wade
Seems about right.Originally Posted by AntBanks81
He will see how much tougher the game is w/o Kobe Bryant. If he does play with LeBron, he might be able to match his performance.
If I were in the same position, I'm staying where I can get another ring and still make millions and be in my hometown. Although Cle would be the fav to win if he signed, it is Cleveland. Just for the weather, I would be staying in LA if I being offered the same money by both cities.
I understand that now that he has a ring, he should get money. BUT all nba players getting money.

Like you were saying this when he was playing well during the playoffs. Bitter Laker fans.....
Nobody is bitter, it's just the truth, he did well cause people were doubling and tripling Kobe leaving him WIDE open, most of us were saying the same thing in the playoffs and Finals so fall back.
Listen I don't think Ariza is amazing or us getting him would be a "POWER MOVE" Animal Thug said, but you don't think he's going to begetting those wide open looks in Cleveland?
He'd clearly be a good role player for Cleveland, but you guys are going to opposite extremes over this guy. Some say he's going to be an All-Star, andother guys are acting like he shouldn't even be in the league. I've never seen so much controversy over a decent role player

Well all CLE has is the MLE so we'll seeOriginally Posted by AntBanks81

damn paper chaser ..
Hate how the NBA isn't about basketball anymore...
Ideal example of people buying too much into big playoff performances... He shot 31% over the course of 82 regular season games...Originally Posted by franchise3
So he's worth 5.6 but not worth 8?
The thing with Ariza is, he's young. His O is improving, can knock down the 3 ball, and is a lengthy defender.
Sure he benefited playing with Kobe, but these are the type of guys you give the dough too. Young dudes showing their potential. Plus he basically won the Lakers the 'ship with his scoring bunches.
I know money in sports is imaginary but have you seen LA's payroll? Kobe? Pau? Andrew? All three of those guys have crazy contracts. Nextpriority is Odom who will get 9 or 10 million. Not to mention Luke's and Sasha's contracts?Originally Posted by franchise3

I'd feel slighted too if I was him. MLE is a low ball offer.
For a team that doesn't care about the luxuary tax, making draft day deals and getting money back and then only offering your guy the MLE, LA, you're better than that.
