Ariza is the classic example of a team falling in love with a guy because of a good playoff run. He was an 8 PPG guy & a pretty good defender in the regular season, but not an elite Shane Battier/ Ron Artest defender. Remember Jerome James a few years ago? 3 PPG guy who had a big playoff run, so the Knicks signed him to something like five years, 35 million. Since then, he's been a 3 PPG guy.

Ariza possibly has upside as he's only 24, so it might not be a bad pickup for Houston (bad for NO, potentially. Boo). It seems like they didn't overpay too heavily for him, which is good.
