Trevor Ariza played for the Washington Wizards last season. This season, he is relocating to play with the Houston Rockets. The deal is worth $32 million over the next four years.
Ariza spent the last two seasons with the Wizards. Last season, he had one of his best seasons in the NBA yet. He averaged 14.4 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game, 2.5 assists per game, 0.3 blocks per game and 1.6 steals per game. He shot 46 percent from the field, 41 percent from behind the three point line and 77 percent from the free throw line.
Ariza played for Houston during the 2009-10 season and had what seems to be his best season ever with them. He returns a much more mature player and should see his stats increase a little bit more, especially after they lost Chandler Parsons. Expect around 16 points, six rebounds, four assists and 1.5 steals per game next season.
