He didn't, front Office didn't want him so bad.

I heard that they offered Ariza the full mid-level, but he wanted more.. yet he is gonna get the mid-level in Houston possibly..

I think Houston sweetened the length of the deal. The money per year was about the same.

I heard on the radio today Ariza was tradeable under the right circumstances.

i think ariza shouldve went to portland or toronto... hou may have to rebuild now that yao and tracy are done...well not rebuild, but they are just gonna be a solid lil group of guys...

ariza wanted to stay with the lakers but when he was offered the mid-level amount of 5.6 mil, he viewed it as a "slap in the face" so he started to look elsewhere. the moment i heard that artest was coming to LA i texted all my laker buddies and said: "say goodbye to trevor"

short term, artest better for lakers,

long term, ariza was better
