I for one, certainly would have been disappointed if we landed Ariza (and thats all) with our off season after having big bucks to offer. (And I said as much before all this went down.)

Yes and no. The disappointment is going from potentially having another max free agent (ie Bosh) come in and keeping Parsons, and going from that to Ariza. Not from going from Parsons to Ariza. The former would have made us a contender. We aren't with just one of Parsons or Ariza either way.
