Isiah Thomas is exploring the possibility of reacquiring Trevor Ariza, a player Larry Brown referred to as "delusional", the New York Daily News.

Signing Ariza, a restricted free agent, appears to be a longshot, since Thomas drafted swingman Renaldo Balkman in the first round and has him under contract for three years. The Orlando Magic has the option to match any offer made to Ariza,  who is looking to make $3 million per season.

Ariza's agent, David Lee, told Florida Today that his client is "a jump shot away from being an All-Star."  Lee also said  that Sacramento, Houston and Denver have expressed interest in the athletic forward.
