Ariza Discontent with Offer

Trevor Ariza is closer to leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN, after he was disatisfied with their initial offer of $5.6 million per year. Ariza has garnered interest from Cleveland, as well as Portland, Toronto, Houston, and the Clippers. However, only the Raptors and Blazers could offer more than the Lakers due to the salary cap. Sources say Ariza's disappointment with the Purple and Gold's offer has put the other teams ahead of the Lakers on his wish-list.
