Why would the Lakers trade Ariza?

The reason was that the general manager of the Lakers released a remark, and the original words were that a player like Ariza should obediently accept a middle-class contract for him, and then honestly stay. This sentence made Ariza's self-esteem, coupled with his own value in the playoffs this season, and his average points per game, also increased his ambitions, and he himself said that if there are too many outstanding players in the Lakers, he can't improve, and he wants to go to a team where he can play with peace of mind and give him space to play, and the Rockets are like this next season, and he and Darryl Morey have a good conversation in Las Vegas, Combined, although the contract given by the Rockets is only more in the middle class (34 million in 5 years), but here, he can prove himself through the game and increase his value, if he is in the Lakers, then he has Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Odom and Bynum in front of him, and it is difficult to make great progress, just like Maddie before 2000, so he refused the Cavaliers' invitation and came to the Rockets.

The Lakers didn't trade, but Ariza's contract expired and the Lakers didn't renew him, instead signing Artest, forcing Ariza to the Rockets.

In order to get Artest, who is better on the offensive and defensive ends.

Please, it's not a trade, it's his contract, free agent, signed with the Rockets, and it has nothing to do with the Lakers.

Alz is a high-tech imbecile player.

It was Morey who just took advantage of the loophole.

Tver-Ariza gave up the chance to continue the championship with the Lakers and came to Houston to share the woes with the Rockets. Many people say that this is because money is at work, and the Lakers can't afford to come up with a suitable contract, so they can only let Ariza switch to his family. But according to the Houston Chronicle, Ariza clarified the claim, saying that he joined the Rockets solely because the latter valued him.

In fact, the contract amount offered by the Rockets is not huge, and he is even $9 million less than the Raptors. So what exactly makes Ariza give up a championship and a big contract? Because the Rockets can offer something else that no one else can offer, and that is that they need Ariza very, very much, in other words, it can be called respect.

I'm not a greedy person, and the Lakers know that. "You can see the way I play, I just want to play for a team that needs me and they can give me opportunities to improve." Now I'm excited because I've gotten it.

This team has shown a strong desire to get me, and that's what I want. ”

The Rockets offered Ariza a five-year contract worth about $33 million, while the Lakers also got Ron Artest, and the two teams traded their respective free agents. "I'm a champion. "And now I'm a rocket man." ”

Because he originally wanted an annual salary of 900w, the Lakers only gave the full middle class, and the Lakers contacted Atai and signed a verbal agreement, which made him very disappointed, so he decided to go to the Rockets to prove his strength.

Because the rocket gives a lot of money, it's as simple as that.

Because the Lakers thought his asking price was too high.

Besides, if you have Atai, you don't want Ariza

The Lakers gave up Ariza to make their roster stronger, and it can also be said that they want to build another dynasty in the short term.

In this playoffs, Ariza is not very effective defensively against a stronger forward. And Artey can make up for his shortcomings, mainly to deal with James, Anthony, Pierce and other physically strong opponents. The main reason I think is that Artai is willing to take a salary cut to join, which made the Lakers give up Ariza, otherwise the Lakers must have given up because of insufficient money, not just let him go.

At the critical moment of the negotiations, Atay's salary cut is undoubtedly the main reason why the Lakers gave up Ariza, both are defensive masters, and have a good three-point hand, and Atay's body is stronger, which is more suitable for the Lakers' taste (the Lakers want to win three consecutive championships, and the main opponents should be, James, Pierce, Anthony, and other physically stronger forwards) and the Lakers feel that Artay will be better off against these people than Ariza, plus Atay's salary cut is so done.

Ariza's agent miscalculated the situation and proposed a contract that the Lakers could not accept, in fact, the Lakers did not want to give up Ariza, and Ariza did not want to go, but there was no way, the Lakers' salary space had been overspent and could not afford to pay Ariza's high salary, plus Atai joined so he had to give up Ariza.

The Lakers' salary space can't accommodate Ariza, and he personally doesn't want to develop in the Lakers, so he has the intention of going.

Hello, glad to be able to this question. The Rockets traded Covington in exchange for Ariza, giving the Rockets the ability to advance and retreat freely. It's a pretty good deal for the Rockets.

The Rockets' lineup changes at that time could only start with Covington, and the Rockets' lineup needed to be adjusted. However, the team has struggled to strengthen due to the large contracts of Harden and Westbrook. Westbrook and Harden have asked for a trade, and the Rockets want to trade Willis but want to keep Harden.

But the situation at the time was that it was almost impossible for Wei Shao to be traded. He had a disastrous playoff run. If you want to keep Harden, you need to start with the team's third-highest salary.

And Covington is also a player with more trade value on the Rockets' roster.

Two first-round picks, the future of the Rockets rebuilding got two first-round picks in the process of trading Covington. Although neither of these signings is high. But in the process of trading to Westbrook, the Rockets sent too many draft picks, which made the Rockets in desperate need of blood.

On the one hand, the Rockets aren't sure that Harden and Westbrook will be on their camp next season. If the final result is a rebuild, these two first-round rounds are also the capital of the reconstruction. So these two first-round picks are also quite important for the Rockets.

Trading Covington has already considered a follow-up trade for the Rockets to trade Covington for two purposes, one is a future draft pick, and the other is to reduce the team's salary. That would allow the team to fill the roster with $9.3 million in the full midrange. Makes the rocket advance and retreat freely.

Therefore, Ariza was traded to the Pistons by the Rockets before he arrived in Houston. Since the Pistons are a team under the salary cap, they can eat Ariza's contract hard to meet the Rockets' purpose of freeing up salary space and trading air. After the trade is completed, the Rockets' salary is $15 million below the luxury tax and $22 million below the hard salary cap, and the Rockets can use the full midrange of $9.3 million to fill the roster.

This follow-on deal created a $12.8 million trade exception for the Rockets.

Strengthening the interior, Wood, who the Rockets already have a target Pistons, is the interior player that the Rockets would very much like to get. This past season, Wood was able to shoot as high as three-point range, which is already above the league average, and he was able to shoot from the field to the field on two-point shots. Wood started 11 of the Pistons' final 15 games, and in those games, Wood averaged minutes of playing time per game, averaging rebounds and one block per game for the Pistons, and he also improved his three-point line shooting percentage to 41 percent.

The Rockets have terminated the contract with general manager Morey and the head coach, which is to say goodbye to the "magic ball theory". Their goals are very clear. The idea is also very clear.

The successive transactions can be described as quite beautiful. After these transactions, although the strength of the team has not improved substantially. But the lineup is more reasonable.

The above is all that Brother Wei said about basketball;

The deal is still very good overall, and the two first-round picks are very good hole cards, whether they are used as chips or to develop players on their own in the future.

On the one hand, the team traded away from Covington to reduce the team's salary, so that the team owner can pay less luxury tax, and Ariza, although he is no longer as brave as he used to be, still has some ability to provide some help to the team. On the other hand, getting a two-year first-round pick allows the team to add some fresh blood in the future and find some potential newcomers. This operation is very good for the rocket.

The Rockets traded relatively successfully, bringing in an experienced veteran, plus two first-round picks, and making a sure move.

Good deal. In exchange for two first-round picks, it is in exchange for the future of the team.

Yes, the Rockets signing him is a failure.

The NBA is doing crazy changes all the time, and everything is happening here. Artey's self-recommendation made the Lakers happy, and Ariza had no choice but to leave the Rockets. Judging from this exchange, neither the Rockets nor the Lakers actually lose.

On the Rockets side, due to the failure of Artay's contract renewal, the Rockets had to look for a vacancy after Artey left, at this time Ariza was also negotiating a new contract with the Lakers, and the Lakers were limited by the salary cap, and could only give Ariza a 1-year $5.6 million contract, which made Ariza and his agent unacceptable, so they had to seek the next home, at this time Morey was just looking for Atay's replacement, so the two sides hit it off. Judging from the Rockets' signing of Ariza, first of all, Ariza is a defensive player, his athleticism and flexibility are excellent, and more importantly, he is only 24 years old, and it can be seen on the surface of the Finals that the young man has a lot of potential. Therefore, the rocket did not suffer losses for the loss of Atay.

As for the Lakers, Ariza can't play for the Lakers, which is a pity. And the addition of Atay has also excited the Lakers, who has a strong body and a wealth of defensive experience. And Artai also has the ability to play alone with his back, which is incomparable to Ariza, if the Lakers can solve the role that Artai plays in the team, then the Lakers' strength this year is very strong.

Speaking of Ariza alone, it's a shame that the guy left the Lakers. It is unknown whether the Rockets will be able to play better. Ariza's departure from the Lakers was a big loss to himself.

First of all, it is a pity that Ariza left the Lakers because he earned more than 1 million a year. Staying with the Lakers has more chances to win another championship, and joining the Rockets, at least the current Rockets have no hope of winning the championship in 2-3 years. Second, Ariza joined the Rockets, and his position overlapped with Battier, and the two were the same type of player, which would make Ariza unable to play as a starter, so he had to sit on the bench.

The Rockets spent 6.6 million to buy a bench, which is really expensive. Yao Ming's injury, the Rockets' lineup for next season is projected: Brox, Maddy, Battier, Scola, (center to be traded in the future).

Ariza is likely to play as a substitute at most. It is unknown whether Adelman will be able to use Ariza in the same way that Zen masters do. In short, Ariza is very confused when he comes to the rocket, and no one knows what the future holds, so I have to wish him a happy stay in the rocket.

So I don't think it's easy to say right now.
