3. Trevor Ariza
Trevor Ariza is exactly the kind of veteran role player that every single contending team in the NBA is going to want to bring in this offseason. That is not going to increase his value much, simply because of his age and his limited skillset at this point in his career, but it will give him plenty of teams to choose from.
Hopefully, he will choose one of his former teams in the Los Angeles Lakers, where he previously won the NBA title as a young role player alongside Kobe Bryant.
At this point in his career, Ariza is nothing more than a veteran three and D wing player. His defense is no longer great but it definitely is serviceable, especially when he utilizes his size and length.
He is also a decent three-point shooter. He was not great last season as he shot just 35% from beyond the arc in a limited sample size but the year before that he shot 40% in a much larger sample size.
Ariza can essentially offer what Wesley Matthews offered this team but better. I find it really hard-pressed to expect him to shoot worse than Matthews did this season and he can provide as good, if not slightly better because of his size, defense.
If the Los Angeles Lakers had to choose between Trevor Ariza and Wesley Matthews they should absolutely choose Ariza.
