Yeah, a one year done deal for this veterans, and probably they have to accept a pay cut just to be in a championship team once again. Howard and Ariza is a comeback Lakers, meaning they know the institutions very well that's why they have agreed.
For Melo and Westbrook, same predicament, they wanted to leave a legacy and having at least one ring and a future HOF, win-win situation for the two as well.
An experiment that has a good chance to win. Lebron sure pulled a lot of strings from the Lakers management to acquire this veterans.
Ariza may not be really that hungry for a championship since he already had one but I guess two ring will always be better.
WB and Melo will be the ones who needs to work their ass and be at better shape until the playoffs or better the Finals if they will achieve it.
I have no doubts with WB but Melo should find a way to bring back his consistency with his shooting percentage. This is the time, leave a good mark, retirement is getting closer.
