They offered Ariza the $5.8M per year. Ariza and his camp wanted $7 to $8M. They were told to see if they can find it elsewhere. Ron Artest, an defensive minded player was a free agent, said he was willing to take the $5.8M per year so they signed him. If the Lakers would have waited for Ariza ,Artest may have went to another team, and there was no guarantee that Ariza would've resigned with the Lakers. Losing both would've been disasterous. Like the old saying goes "you snooze, you lose". The Lakers did the right thing. They offered Ariza the $5.8M per year. Ariza and his camp wanted $7 to $8M.
