I'm not that stuck position basketball but it seems odd that signing Chandler has been met with a lot of praise but just a few weeks prior some of the same people thought the sky was falling because we traded for Bridges. I know the Heat pick played a role in that but there were also questions about where he'd play since we already had Jackson and Warren. The idea of starting 2 of those 3 (Bridges, Warren, Jackson) at Forwards was met with a lot more pushback than the idea of starting Ariza with Jackson/Bridges/Warren. How did adding to our log jam create a clearer picture, is more what I'm getting at.
I hope Ariza works but his signing seems questionable at this point and does remind me of the Dudley deal because of how the team is addressing it. They said openly that Dudley was signed as a stretch PF and that failed quickly when he was placed against starters.
