The pitch to Ariza went something like this: Ariza has played for six teams and needs to find some place to call home; with John Wall as his point guard he had a career-best season; and Gortat's decision to stay signals they're committing to win long-term.

The Wizards were confident in their ability to retain their two top unrestricted free agents because they'll have the cap room when it's re-adjusted upward of $5 million after the audit of league finances is completed.

And they also were encouraged by Ariza meeting with Wall and Bradley Beal in Los Angeles earlier this summer for dinner, something that's a rare occurrence for a franchise that had been noted for chemistry issues on and off the court.

Ariza was expected to take a few days, after hearing pitches from other teams, before getting on the phone with president Ernie Grunfeld to discuss a possible deal. However, a person with knowledge of the situation said he may have been "inspired" to just get a deal done such as Gortat who didn't hesitate in re-signing. Plus, Ariza's relationship with Gortat is rock-solid.

The key will be exactly for how much and how long will the contract offer be. The more money per year Ariza wants likely will result in a shorter contract; less money per year will mean a longer contract, sources said.


Ariza produced the best season of his career with 14.4 points on a career-high 40.7 percent from three-point range and 6.2 rebounds as the Wizards advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in nine years. That success may result in a relative "discount" if it helps the Wizards acquire more talent. Had this been a losing team or one that underperformed in the playoffs, Ariza's price-tag would rise significantly higher.

Noted for his defense -- even though he only received three total votes for the NBA's All-Defensive teams -- Ariza excelled vs. LeBron James, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, which was why he is in high demand.

Still, much of his success as an offensive player is tied to Wall because his dribble penetration creates spot-up opportunities for Ariza, the way it did for Martell Webster when he had his best season in 2012-13. Of Ariza's 389 made field goals last season, 42% of them were on assists from Wall.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Norris Cole duh


Chandler and McGee make about $18 million together, that would honestly be the best thing out there for the Heat, just can't see them giving up both those dudes for Norris Cole in return
:russ:


They would fill out the Heat roster really nicely, that's what Riley should be targeting.

If the Chicago Bulls' dream scenario is to land Carmelo Anthony through a sign-and-trade involving Carlos Boozer, the Bulls will have to come up with another plan, according to league sources.

The New York Knicks will not take back Boozer in a sign-and-trade deal, the sources said.

Despite their interest in Anthony, sources said the Bulls have not called the Knicks to gauge potential sign-and-trade scenarios.



Boozer bout to get hit with that amnesty brehs
