Trevor Ariza's short but sweet stay in Los Angeles might be coming to an end.


Ariza
The 24-year-old swingman, who played a key role in the Lakers' run to their
15th NBA championship, is on the verge of leaving the club, sources close to
the situation said on Wednesday.

With at least five teams pursuing Ariza, the Lakers are currently unwilling
to pay him more than the $5.6 million mid-level exception.

"They're letting him go," one of the sources said.

Cleveland is making a hard push for Ariza, and the Cavaliers' coaching staff
was speaking with him on Wednesday. While Cleveland can only offer the
mid-level as well, Ariza's disappointment with the Lakers' stance has moved
other suitors ahead of his current team.

The Rockets, Clippers, Raptors and Blazers are also showing interest in
Ariza. Portland and Toronto could each offer more than the mid-level
exception.

If the Lakers refuse to increase their offer, it's a clear indication that
they are choosing their other big free agent forward, Lamar Odom, over the
younger Ariza.

Ariza averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in the regular season for the
Lakers last season. He increased his scoring to 11.3 points and had 4.2
rebounds per game in the playoffs. He had 16 points and 15 points in the last
two Lakers victories in the Finals.

Those numbers were a jump over his career averages of 6.9 points and 3.8
rebounds per game. Ariza has played for three teams in his five-year career.

如果是這樣的話，放掉阿泰看起來就合理了。湖人對Artest也有興趣，也許來個先簽後換？
