Want to smack Ariza’s agent

As a Laker fan I hate to see young talent get slip away from Laker Locker room. I hate Ron Artest but thats a different story, beside that I think it was a bad deal for Lakers in the long run. He had the potential to be a franchise face for Lakers. I think entire story was controlled by Ariza’s agent. It was all agent not willing to agree for little bit less money. When you compare the two deal it was not much different.

This is where you can test real ethics and moral behind a basketball player even though we all know all these players only care about Green. If you take a look at Ariza’s basketball career, He was a part of the deal that happen with Orlando and when you compare Ariza with the names in that deal (Brain Cook & Evens, I think), Lakers made Ariza’s career from just another NBA player to high paying NBA basketball Player. Lakers cant take the entire credit but its substantial enough. So, Ariza should have the decency to agree for a smaller deal and stay with Lakers because having the opportunity to win his second NBA Championship ring is priceless.
