In case you didn’t know…
Ariza is regarded as one of the best two-way players in the NBA, and he played a pivotal role in the Houston Rockets’ trip to the Conference Finals during the 17-18 season. Ariza left Houston to join the Phoenix Suns last summer but was traded to the Wizards back in December. The veteran played 43 times in Washington, averaging 14.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
The heart of the matter
The Thunder will need to make additions this summer as the team could lose Markieff Morris, Nerlens Noel and Raymond Felton in free agency, whereas Andre Roberson, Steven Adams, and Dennis Schroder have all been linked with trades. According to the report,
Ariza’s ability to hit open shots while offering defensive steel make him an excellent fit for Billy Donovan’s team, although the veteran may receive more substantial offers from rival teams.
What’s next?
NBA teams can contact free agents and their agents beginning on June 29 at 6 p.m. The official free agency window opens on June 30, although contracts can’t be officially signed until July 6.
