When news popped out last night that veteran 3-and-D wing Trevor Ariza had agreed to take all the Phoenix Suns cap space for himself on a one-year deal, the world was stunned.
Suns GM Ryan McDonough said he would be aggressive this summer. After the draft, he said he would focus on forward who could play defense and stretch the floor, as wall as point guard who run the show.
Well, I suppose the 6’8” Ariza fits that bill. McD didn’t actually say the word “power” in the description of that forward. Maybe we all just assumed that, since he’d already filled up the wing positions.
