Ariza wanted 8-9 million, and Artest will settle for 6. Now they can sign Odom.
Great move by the Lakers.
I think Artest is hungry for redemption and rings. One can't deny there is a potential downside with him, but if it works, look out.
One things for sure, if anyone can fit Artest into a championship culture, it's PJ and Kobe.
Scary stuff for the rest of the league.

I already gave my arguments..I also agree that it could go either way, although I'm leaning towards bad..Lakers are the favorites either way, they obviously deserve respect as the reigning NBA Champions, so I'll give them that..
I'm done in this thread though..
I feel dirty for writing multiple posts in a thread involving Lakers fans..disgusting people that actually work and spend money to buy the merchandise of a rapist that throws teammates under the bus, and buy tickets to see him..they also go out and destroy their city after their team wins a title, surely following in the footsteps of a criminal like Mr.Kobe..it's the equivalent of being a Nazi soldier, following Hitler as he killed innocent people..
House seems to get more dilusional with every post. :lolQuote:

Also, I do believe it's Bynum's year anyways.
by rule teams are not allowed to announce deals until the signing period starts. just doing their jobs.Quote:

Artest is a huge talent upgrade over Ariza, and PJ has a history of turning nutcases into champions. I think this deal solidifes their championship chances next year.
It'll be interesting to see how Artest works out. He's a ballstopper in his own offense and is prone to boneheaded play. But at his best, he can be among the best players in the league.
Ultimately, though, I don't know if this is an improvement over Ariza. Lakers don't need another offensive threat and Ariza was already good defensively.
Guys...
We are in big troubles...
If we can get Rasheed, we can just reach even in the interior.
But how can we defend Kobe + Artest? Jefferson+Manu?
PG will be the only advantage.
Yeah our PF really sucks.Quote:

Artest on the other hand, is better offensively, but he's older, slower, and less athletic than Ariza. Sure he's an upgrade, but it isn't an upgrade that will make the Lakers nearly invincible next year. The RJ trade was definitely better than this Artest trade for the Laker. The Spurs simply through away big stiffs and they got themselves a solid SF who can both score and defend and isn't a nutcase like Artest.
lakers have no bench and all sources are pointing to odom leaving
no worried about a guy whos defense is not as good as it used to be
there will be a problem soon trust me
There are NO SIGNS pointing to Odom leaving...quit making up crap. This move makes it even more likely Odom stays. He was one of the main guys pushing Artest to sign.Quote:

quit getting your hopes up.
:lmao Leaving for where? He's lived on the beach his entire career. Odom grew up playing AAU with Artest. He's going nowhere.Quote:

so what if artest signed and is good friends with him or whatever thats why they got him
thats fucking stupid
Odom is going to get paid
reality check :rollin
love it. i hope they lose odom as a result.
So every major sports outlet is on the side of Ron? Ron is on board with the Lakers, it's as close to a done deal as you can get before July 8th.Quote:

houston gets the younger better guy while Lakers are getting older than the spurs :lol
Well, Phoenix isn't the beach, but it's still a sunny, western state and the Suns have money to throw at Lamar.
No they don't, not enough.Quote:
