Laker or Magic?

Where did you see that? I scan the Internet every day looking for NBA stories, and I didn't see that. I'd say that the reckless way he plays, Ariza is at risk for getting injured on a regular basis, but I've never heard that he has any physical problems.
However, for me, I've seen Ariza make some difference in some Lakers games and even get some starts. He fits nicely in their athletic, long-bodied rotation. I've barely seen Brian Cook take the court in Orlando and when he has, he mostly has been firing up and missing 3-pointers. Mo Evans has contributed defensively mostly. I have hope for him still being able to make a difference because I have seen him do so on a regular basis on some of the other teams he has been on.

Some people on here are still in denial. We lost this trade. It wasn't a definite thing that we would lose Ariza for nothing in the off season.
Also, just because Otis made up his mind to that he was going to trade Ariza doesn't mean he couldn't send him out for a better package either. Evans doesn't equal Ariza. Cook is a 10-12th player on any decent roster.
The best way to tell who won this trade is to check the General board. I guarantee it will be almost unanimous that other team's fans believe we lost this trade.

There was a thread about it.
The Magic wanted another shooter to stretch the defense, so it took on the Lakers' Brian Cook, no fan of Phil Jackson, and gave up Trevor Ariza, who, despite being only 22, is a physical wreck waiting to happen. The whispers out of Orlando are that the ex-Knick has structural foot problems that will eventually catch up with him.

Pretty much sums it up.
