And draft Kevin Love in 2008.

Are the O'Bannon's available? Zidek?

Maybe Reggie Miller will come out of retirement?

Does anyone think Reggie wouldn't be the third best player on the Lakers right now besides me? I mean, if he didn't hate Kobe and all. . .

Ariza will definitely help our defense. Nice trade.

If by helping our defense you mean that Brian Cook won't be playing for the Lakers anymore, then I agree.

So is Ariza a good defensive player?

Yep - he's known for being a first rate perimeter defender, and is rarely caught out of position. Overall he's a smart basketball player with great instincts and athletic ability.

All I remember of him was that he was Lavin's last recruit (though Hollins, Bozeman, Thompson, and *shudder* Fey stuck around longer) and he was very athletic. He had a ridiculous dunk on Jensen in the UW game my senior year.
