T-Ariza heads to the Spoonful

Spoonful drops Landry for Ariza

Carl Landry is a hard working PF type in his second year out of Purdue. He racks up rebounds and other defensive stats, and gets garbage-type high PCT shots. However, he's a bit blocked behind Scola in HOU, and perhaps crowded further by Battier/Artest/Chuck Hayes. He will have value in case of an injury to Yao, but until then, he's a poor and inconsistent man's Paul Millsap.

Trevor Ariza has been discussed; his situation is not much changed (i.e., minutes questions remain), but he is quite talented.

Judgment: The Spoonful is hoping to trade some rebounds (already in short supply) for a more rounded contribution, and hopes that T-Ariz's upside lands him more minutes in the long run. They will need to add rebounding in some form (and Hakim Warrick ain't cuttin' it).
