    Doesn't matter. They are both worthless to us.

    Probably Newble since he plays the same position as Ariza...

    Anyways, great news for us. We still do not know what type of shape Ariza is in, so I wouldn't expect too much out of him tonight, but once he knocks off the rust, he will bring another added dimension for this team, especially defensively. I can't wait!

    Hopefully he isn't rushed into anything, I wouldn't want him hurting us out there.

    We don't need him, but it is nice to have more options.

    I'd take Ariza over both Vladdy and Luke when he's healthy. His defense and slashing are just so much above Vladdy and Luke's abilities.

    Ariza hit a nice little jumper. Supposedly, he's been working on that shot since he's been injured.

    I heard Ariza has worked extremely hard on his jumpshot and mid-range game. He played some garbage time minutes last night, which was great to see. Having another weapon off the bench this late in the season is a luxury for the Lakers and he'll be valuable matching up with the likes of Ginobili, Pierce, or Hamilton.
