It has now been over three weeks since Trevor Ariza signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Suns. There were a lot of surprises in free agency this summer, like Tony Parker leaving San Antonio to sign with Charlotte and LeBron James departing Cleveland to join the Lakers.
Ariza may not be a star, but his decision to leave Houston was a shocker for Rockets fans and it definitely hurt the team. Sure, Ariza had a very forgettable Game 7 in the conference finals, but that is just a snapshot of his tenure in Houston.
Over four seasons in Houston, Ariza missed just total 18 games.
