Trevor Ariza is reportedly seeking a big new contract.

Ariza, who spent the last four seasons with the Rockets, is set to be a free agent this summer. The 32-year-old forward is looking for a contract paying him $50 million to $60 million over the next four to five years, according to a report from USA Today’s Rockets Wire.

Ariza is a solid two-way wing who averaged 11.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last season. He signed a four-year, $32 million contract with Houston in July 2014.

Ariza has spent 14 years in the NBA and won a championship with the Lakers in 2008-09. He has a career average of 10.5 points per game.

Houston guard Chris Paul will also be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Rockets big man Clint Capela will be a restricted free agent.

The Rockets finished 2017-18 with a 65-17 record and earned the top overall seed in the Western Conference playoffs. They advanced to the conference finals, where they were topped by the Warriors in seven games.
