Apparently, ALL but one free agents we approached told bryan that they would come and play for us. I wonder who was the other - iverson maybe?

Trevor Ariza. He turned down more money from Toronto to go to Houston (rumour)

don't think it was trevor ariza
he said that the guy didn't want to come to TO, but he also said that he wasn't looking at that guy, so really all the guys would be willing to come to TO
we were looking at ariza so it shouldn't be him, but maybe its him, who knows

Then if we weren't looking at him how did it come about that this said player said he didn't want to come here? There had to be some discussion,no?

^^
there doesn't have to be a discussion
the player's agent can release info that he doesn't want to go to certain teams so those GMs won't even bother looking at them
or the player's already expressed that he doesn't want to go to these places before any teams even start talking to him
