Golden State Warriors: 10 Lowkey offseason targets to revamp dynasty
By Tony Pesta
9. Trevor Ariza
The Golden State Warriors are looking for a wing defender to buff their defense and fill the gap left by Andre Iguodala. Acquiring Trevor Ariza is a no-brainer.
Ariza has built up a memorable career based on his ability to be a gritty perimeter defender. He has long arms and can switch multiple positions. He has bounced around the league a bit in recent years as nearly every championship-contending team is interested in signing him.
His veteran experience makes him priceless. He has battled at the top with Kobe Bryant and won a championship. Ariza is the ideal guy to add to a team that is looking to make a deep playoff run.
Ariza has opted out of the NBA’s bubble in Orlando. This means the 34-year-old will have extended time off to rest and get in shape for next season. The Warriors would love to add Ariza’s quality defense and veteran leadership.
