If Balkman could ever develop a jumpshot, he would be a solid player in this league. With more discipline, he can be a lockdown defender and above-average rebounder. He is fun to watch. I hope he has a successful career.

Has anyone seen Ariza play this year? He would be starting for this team with ease. His jumpshot is 20 times better than when he was here.

He wouldn't be starting. He's averaging 9 ppg and 5 rpg. He'd be backing up Chandler with those numbers.

Im not comparing the two players although you could easily say they are close in talent. Ariza could easily play where Q Rich plays right now--he's the better player and gives us more length.

yea, i've been catching a lot of ariza out here in so cal, dude is an absolute stud. will be a key member of the lakers this year without a doubt. so much energy, good D, plays everywhere.

the balkman deal surprised me only b/c i think renaldo would've been great in this system, but iguess everybody is great in this system.

Ariza a stud ? I'm not too sure about that. To me, studs are guys like Bayless, Westbrook, Rose, etc.

Two things:

1.) He would not be in our rotation
2.) It's possible that the other players said some negative things aobut him. It's possible.
I just hope that people will like me

1. You are wrong by 10 miles. If he's an impact player off the bench for the best team by far in the league--he certainly would be playing in the Knick rotation--very very likely in the starting unit where Q Rich lays. Don't confuse Trevor Ariza from what he was to what he is right now--watch their games and come back and tell me that.
2. who knows who cares

What on earth makes you say that the Nuggets are the best team in the league?

You need to have a consistant ouside jumper in this system which is why D Lee has been regulated to the bench. There's no doubt he would get 22mins a game, but starting would not be the case.

In 8mins, gimme a break and to his credit he has knocked down a couple of timely 3s although thats nothing to run and tell the haters. I think thats just what mike wants out of him

dude, the guy's shooting 38% from the field & 35% from beyond the arc... i think ur the one who needs to gimme a break bro... the guy's been a complete nonfactor on both sides of the ball this season... completely senseless addition to this roster.
