You pro-Ariza guys are fucking ridiculous.

Here's a stats comparison:

Rk          Player  Season Age  G GS   MP  FG  FGA  FG%  3P 3PA  3P%  FT FTA  FT% ORB DRB TRB AST STL BLK TOV  PF  PTS
1     Trevor Ariza 2008-09  23 82 20 1998 4.9 10.7 .460 1.1 3.4 .319 2.2 3.0 .710 2.0 4.3 6.3 2.6 2.5 0.4 1.6 3.0 13.1

I'll take Nic, thanks. Ariza has had one decent year, and even in that season, he's been ultra-mediocre. There is no need to throw loads and loads of cash at this guy.

Did Batum actually average 10 points a game last year? I didn't think it was that high. We better hang on to this kid.

"PRE" as in Preformatted. It's to the right of the "Glossary" and "CSV" (another formatting option) links right above the stats.

Stats are for per 36 minutes.

I dont want Ariza at the price he wants. He doesnt bring that much more to the table than Batum and Webster will IMO. And that doesnt factor in Rudy playing the 3 sometimes.

Cool, I see it thanks

Webs salary is around $4.5 per, isnt it?

Thinking about it, I think you are closer than I was. It was something like 4 years/$20 mil. To be comparable to what Ariza is looking for, it would have to have been 4 years/$24-$25 mil.
