Ariza incident in Houston?

This is message board rumor mongering so take it with a grain of salt, but supposedly someone with inside info in Houston posted this on RealGM forums.
Also keep in mind that Gerald Madkins worked in Houston's FO as of a week ago so I'm sure if there was an incident the Hornets were fully aware of it.

The reason Houston is doing this deal is because of some behind-the-scenes- "issues" with Ariza. There was a MAJOR incident recently between Ariza and another key player that really turned ugly. The coaching staff was very concerned about chemistry issues between the two players and so they began shopping Ariza for the last month and a half or so. Apparently, Ariza has a reputation for being a "loose cannon" to put it mildly (one of the reasons LAL didn't do more to retain him), and Houston wanted to dump him and get back the best value they could. Lee is a very nice player--hard nosed, tough, and athletic--and they are really happy if they get him. Lee will be a very solid addition for them and I think you will see him flourish in Adelman's system.
...I can't disclose all of the details. However, I will say this. Ariza and another Hou player had some major drama and it also included both of the players' wives/girlfriends. The situation got somewhat ugly and it reached a point where Hou felt that chemistry could be a problem on the team. They started looking at options to trade Ariza not long after this incident.

It's okay. West is a karate expert. He'll keep shite in line. Just saying.

Ehh we should be ok even if this is true...we haven't really had any chemistry probs in the past

Yeah, Willie Roaf still played at a pro bowl level for KC when the Joe Horn/Joe Johnson incident occurred.

Didn't L.A. get rid of him in exchange for Artest because they wanted to win now?

doesnt sound like a big deal. Sounds like they are trying to talk themselves into the deal

They had already won one with Ariza, and he was a huge asset to that team. They just thought Artest would be an upgrade, I guess. Boy, Houston really got fricked over with losing Artest and Ariza. Their loss is our gain.

Ah, that's right. Thanks for jogging my memory, Hank.

Can someone confirm or deny Ariza's friendships with either Tiger Woods, Joe Horn, Travis Henry, or Shawn Kemp?
