Ariza has a serious long term issue with his foot. That reduces his value. He also hasn't made a shot since jumping out of Kobe's jock strap.

Even an armchair athlete hero like yourself should know that you last statement is false. Ariza made 66 threes in his two years with the Lakers and 136 three last year as a Rocket. Thats more than double in the two years he played with Kobe Bryant. His three point percentage also increased to 33% while as a Laker he averaged around 30% for the two years he was there. Overall Ariza made 394 total field goals last season compared to the 333 he made in two years as a Laker.

I would argue Ariza had inflated stats with a team that had limited scoring options besides Brooks and Martin.
may I add as a reminder that an Ariza led team (He was a top 3 player for Hou) went 42-40 in the west. An Iggy led team, well, 27-55.

You forgot to mention that Houston has Rick Adleman and the 6ers had Eddie Jordan, i guess you thank they are also comparable

He shot 34.7% on catch and shoot jumpers last year. I guess that qualifies as decent, but not exactly something I would write home about. he was actually significantly worse than Iguodala, who shot a much better percentage (39.4%).

Now i'm no way saying that Ariza is a great player but I think he's pretty good and I honestly just fail to see any of the logic you are trying to argue with here about him.
Your statement based on actual facts is totally utterly and completely false and I disagree with you vehemently on everything you have said.

i watched all 82 rocket games this year, ariza missed 0 games because of foot. he missed 2 weeks for a hip pointer
when he was asked to be the man, he was a turnover machine and rushed shots, when we got kevin martin, ariza took off.. he was able to feed off martin and brooks better, and do what he does best, intangibles, steals,defense,finishing breaks
if ariza is any teams #1 or #2 option you will hate him, if he is your #4 or #5 option he can lead you to a championship
as far as hill, he wasnt taught at a young age, so he will be a late bloomer, you see some games where his skill is unbelieveable. ...once he fine tunes and gets more polish he will be a stud. i like him more than patrick patterson and patterson is rated #6 in rookies from summer league...hill is better(just needs to be in right system)
if you give hill the ball and tell him to be "bosh" you wil be disapointed...if hill is ask to rebound,dunk,finish breaks, he is electrifying
i like hill more than brad miller, the only reason morey signed miller is because hill is asked about in trades as trade bait to try to upgrade the starters
ariza is asked about,brooks,hill....morey has said this a month ago
budinger, well his defense blows, he is overrated because he is white...as a white player he is slightly worse than mike miller....as a black player he blows. i like ariza waaaaaaay more than budinger
ariza is 24 btw...everyone keeps saying he is a veteran...hes 24 people
i actually hate this trade. i want to keep ariza as a 6th man,keep hill to backup scola.
id give you guys budinger,patterson,both knick picks 2011/2012 + rockets pick 2012 for iggy....thats PLENTY...
when amare being the only good player on knicks this year ,that pick is gold(randolph is injury prone)
and amare sucks without nash..that team is a joke...expect pick to be top 13...thats pretty good considering iggy has a MASSIVE contract for another 4 years and you guys need to save money.
btw, we almost took brand off your hands on draft night, but literally 1 hour before draft started you guys got cold feet. thanks alot. we really wanted cousins but nooooooooooo...
so, final conclusion, if you guys get ariza,budinger,hill,picks.then morey got punked.
