OMG... STUPID LAKERS!!!
But Trevor Ariza is playing so well~ Man Lakers are nutz ~ This line-up of Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum (Bn: Ariza, Odom) is stronger than the Kobe, Shaq, Malone, Payton... ... Rockets agree on multiyear deal with Ariza
HOUSTON (AP)—The Houston Rockets have reached a multiyear deal with free agentTrevor Ariza(notes), a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Presson Thursday night.
The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because NBA rulesprohibit announcing free-agent deals until next week, said the Rockets offeredAriza the full mid-level exception for the first year, about $5.6 million.
Ariza is coming to Houston just as Ron Artest(notes) decided to leave and play forthe Los Angeles Lakers. Ariza is likely to take Artest’s spot in the Rockets’starting lineup.
The 6-foot-8 Ariza averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists for theLakers last season, which ended with the NBA championship.
The 24-year-old Ariza earned $3.1 million last season and he boosted hisvalue during the playoffs, when he averaged 11.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3assists.
Ariza was acquired by the Lakers in a trade from Orlando in November 2007.He just completed his fifth NBA season after being drafted by the New YorkKnicks with the 43rd overall pick in 2004.
Ariza said after the Lakers’ championship run that he was hoping to staythere. But his agent, David Lee, told KRIV-TV in Houston that Ariza got theimpression that the Lakers didn’t want him anymore.
“It was never about the money,” Lee said. “It was about being at a placewhere he felt wanted and appreciated.”
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey did not immediately return a phonemessage on Thursday night.
He flew to Las Vegas on Thursday to meet with Ariza, a sign that he wasalready expecting Artest to leave.
The Rockets will need Ariza’s versatility and perimeter shooting early nextseason, because they know they’ll be missing Tracy McGrady for the bulk of nextseason. The seven-time All-Star is recovering from microfracture surgery on hisleft knee and could be out until February.
The Rockets are also awaiting a definitive prognosis on Yao, who sustained ahairline fracture in his left foot in the playoffs. Morey made an aggressivepitch to free agent center Marcin Gortat
shortly after the free agency periodbegan on Wednesday.
