MAGIC TRADE ARIZA TO LAKERS!

The Orlando Magic traded Trevor Ariza to the LA Lakers for Brian Cook and Maurice Evans. This deal is good and bad for both teams. I think Ariza will be a good fit in LA, but I question the trade of Brian Cook because Kwame Brown recently went down and although Cook doesn’t play his position, I think keeping him through this shortage of centers would have been the wise thing to do.

Cook is a great addition, and I think of him as a new younger Pat Garrity. I thought Ariza had a much brighter future than both the players they picked up in return. Maybe I am wrong, but time will only tell how good Ariza is compared to Cook and Evans.
