The Lakers and their fanbase all felt he was expendable. I thought they was crazy. Then when Ernie Grunsfeld traded for him I was reminded then by wizard and Laker fans alike of how below average of a player he was overall. Ariza is a modern day Pippen imo, he Just never had a Jordan to play with :leostare:
:mjlol: pipprn one of the goat
He ain't no pipprn
And he did play with kobe

to be honest I was always surprised that he and the lakers parted ways
dude wanted more money and they figured they can get the same from Metta for 1-2 years. It ended up being nice for that game 7 but overall Ariza would have been nice. It was a struggle to see Metta miss those 3s all the time

1. He is just like Pippen and I'll explain why
2. Kobe is not equal to Jordan :ufdup:
Negged for saying Ariza is a modern day Pippen? Neg yourself :ufdup:

Ariza never had the luxury of playing alongside Jordan. Let's factor in if he did. What would be different? Jordan demanded a level of play from his teammates, he routinely made mediocre players appear epic. Why can I readily name players like Steve Kerr, Jud bushler, John Paxson, That nikka Randy, Ron harper to a lesser extent, luc longly, Bill Wennington, I could go on and on. What I'm trying to convey is players who did nothing before and after Jordan are etched in our memories forever. Ariza on that same team would have appeared to be a much better ALL-TIME player than he is, just like all the players I just named, and just like Pippen :francis:

Pippen was an excellent player, deserves all the respect for what he accomplished with jordan. But if he didn't play in Chicago, we wouldn't be talking about Pippen today (Tru Story)

Lol, at this Jordan dikk riding... :scust:

Steve Kerr was considered one of the best shooters in the league before Jordan when he played in Cleveland, he was always a solid back-up PG who won where ever he went...

Ron Harper was a 20/5/5 guy on Cleveland and the Clippers, he sacrificed tremendously on the Bulls and became more of a defensive player for them...
