The Phoenix Suns signed Trevor Ariza early in free agency, offering him $15 million in an effort to add veteran talent and begin winning games. Now the Suns are 3-13, sitting 15th in the Western Conference and struggling to churn out victories.
Ariza is averaging 10.2 points per game while shooting 34.6 percent from deep, a slight decrease from his numbers in Houston last season. He was recently away from the team for personal reasons, and the relationship might be approaching a dead end.
If the Suns and Ariza eventually part ways, a buyout is most likely.
