Killa, I'm starting to notice a trend. I have just read three or four of your trade ideas, and you seem to be throwing Ariza in all of them.
Why not just throw in Frank Williams or Frederick Weis? It's ok, I'm sure no one will notice.
the reason I have been putting his name in is because his value is high and his price is low. Don't get me wrong, I really like Ariza, I think he is special but he is a valuable trading piece when you want to get someone proven in return.
I don't see him becoming someone like Shareef. He doesn't have the body type to be a dominant low post player. And if you can get something quality in return I would say do it. He isn't untouchable in my mind. I like sweets waaay better than him, although in many respects it is an unfair comparison because they bring different things to the game. Sweets could very well become a dominant post player soon. Ariza's game is more about athleticism and hustling. I think low post play is more valuable than athleticism, because athleticism is easily attainable, low post play isn't.
