    I think he has sealed his contract offer this year.

    He is going to disappoint a team when they realize that he isn't as good as Kobe and co are making him look. For his sake, he'd better hope the Lakers keep him.

    True, he won't just fit anywhere but wow is he a sight for sore eyes compared to last year.

    Are you both serious?

    Wasn't this his first healthy year in the league?

    Health + improved jump shot + slashing skills + defense = damn good role player.

    Why do you say he isn't as good as he is looking, tim?

    I think he means the 45+% three point shooting. But yeah I love him, I don't want him to leave and I expect him to get better.

    According to JE,

    Ime Udoka > Trevor Ariza

    Dwyane Wade is the best defensive player in the league.

    According to JE...who cares what he said. He bashed us all season and didn't think we'd make it here. I just wish we were playing the C's so we could have beaten them.

    As it is, Ariza was MVP in game 4. If he doesn't explode to start the 3rd, we don't win that game, pretty simple.
