First year not being a starter in a while for him.  He's produced whenever he's started and been a contributor on an NBA championship team.  He's only 27.  I can't see him being happy to sit behind Webster for another year.  With a weak FA class, the best SF on the market will probably be Stephen Jackson, I can see him opting out and getting a pretty decent deal.  He was an 11-12 and 5 guy as a starter and plays great D.

There is no way Ariza leaves $7 million when he isn't anywhere close to worth it. Also, Webster will be a free agent after the season.
