Ariza's numbers improved, but some people say he his game actually got worse. Did his play not justify his numbers?
Well, I wanted to add Iggy to the Rockets as the 2nd part of a big move. After the 1st part HOU doesn't have anymore picks we can trade until 2013.
What about Ariza, Gortat, 2011 Magic 1st for Iggy + small filler?
And Ariza played out of role the 1st half of the season. He was our 1# option at times but thats not his game and his eff. suffered from that. After we brought in Martin, Ariza went back to the role he's best suited for (spot ups, slashing, perimater D) and he played good ball. He got a bad rap and was called a chunker for taking too many (hard) shots. But the Rockects needed more scoring from somewhere because our #1(Yao), 2(TMAC), and 3(Artest) options where gone so I can't hold that against him too much. I can understand why some people think or thought negitively about from the outside looking in. And his numbers aren't as bad as alot of people may claim.
"Morey decided in 2007 that Steve Francis was to be the "franchise player" of the Rockets only to play what... 5 games? Morey didn't think Marc Gasol was worth a look that year,"
