Rockets lose out on Artest but nab Ariza
Basketball Betting Lines
07/02/2009 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just moments after losing out to the Lakers for
the services of forward Ron Artest, the Rockets have reportedly come to an
agreement with Trevor Ariza, who was a key part of Los Angeles' championship
run this season.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Ariza accepted the Rockets' offer of the
mid-level exception, which will probably end up being a yearly salary of just
under $6 million.
Ariza, who helped oust the Rockets in seven games in last season's thrilling
Western Conference semifinal matchup, averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds for
the Lakers last season but increased his scoring average to 11.3 points in 23
contests in the postseason, when LA won the title in five games over Orlando.
The 24-year-old Ariza will most likely serve the same role Artest did in his
lone season with Houston and brings career averages of 6.9 points and 3.8
rebounds to the Rockets after spending parts of five seasons with the Knicks,
Magic and Lakers.
