Trevor Ariza only played 21 games for the Portland Trail Blazers. But in that time, he showed skills on both ends that we hadn’t seen in a wing in years.
Trevor Ariza came to the Portland Trail Blazers in a January trade that sent Kent Bazemore and multiple second-round picks to the Sacramento Kings.
Bazemore had struggled for offensive impact, so this trade seemed like nothing but a cost-saving move, as Ariza earned significantly less than Bazemore.
