Get Ariza, it kills 2 birds with 1 stone.

Otto Porter gets to become the GOAT in Washington

Jazz get a great player.

The Jazz already have Ryan Kelly on their roster and his name is Erik Murphy. They are roughly about the same size and had about the same stats in college. Kelly was drafted one spot ahead of Murphy in the 2nd round in 2013.

Why does everyone want Ariza... He is a contract year guy. I think I'd rather have Jefferson back for a one-year minimum deal than sign Ariza to what he will command. Ariza will get overpaid and be basically untradeable by January.

For me it goes Ariza/Williams, Jefferson

OR

Jefferson, Ariza/Williams

Depending on if we are going for wins or one more years of developments. AKA THE TANK!

Ariza's been a contract year guy many times over in his career though. last year he was awesome and played great in the playoffs, check out these #'s;


37mpg 4.7-9.8fg's (48%), 2.3-5.1 3pt fg's (45%), 1.9-2.5ft's (78%) 8.9rebs 1.7asts 0.4blks 1.5stls 13.6 ppg

Im pretty sure I read a story saying that the Wiz top priority is resigning Marcin Gortat, so maybe Ariza can be had.

A 3 year deal is best, 4 makes me nervous.

If the Jazz sign Ariza what does that mean for Hayward?

I simply hope we pass on everyone who doesn't bring real veteran leadership and if possible do that without providing wins. Get cash but do it in practice mainly.
Pick another 7-12 draftpick next summer to fill that SF/PF spot somehow, add accordingly via free agency/trades and then attack in Dante's second year.

Then sounds like Jefferson is your man.

Last year was his best year and he benefited from being set up by John Wall. I don't have the link, but heard he had one of the highest percentage of assisted baskets. I'm not sure we have anyone to set him up as well as he was set up last year.

I've also heard his price tag could run as high as 10 M a year. He's 29 so he'll be on his way out when our core is ready to compete. It just feels like the fit and contract would be more than I'd be willing to do. I'd rather throw the max at Parsons than sign Ariza for 3-4 years at 25M-35M.

I think we are developing (tanking) for at least another year.
