Ariza is darn good. Better than Artest for Cleveland, IMHO. He can guard 2s, shoots more efficiently, plays better off the ball, and creates more turnovers. Sure he's an inferior on ball defender, but he'd be fine in Brown's system. The Lakers would probably be pretty angry. They'd be left with the Walton, Morrison and Sasha boy band to join Kobe on the wings. Hope he signs with a crappy team and leaves both rivals in the lurch.
