If the Lakers were going to lose Odom - they would need their MLE to replace him - thus a Houston S&T would be vital. But it wasn't.

bad move losing ariza to artest, good move signing shannon brown that cheap

kid has loads of potential

[DrHouse]

LOL only on SpursTalk is signing Artest for peanuts a bad move. You kids are delusional.

[The_Game]

Good that both are confirmed

Odom is next

[Gouken]

Bad move in Ariza having Lee as an agent. Great move signing Artest in return. Glad to see Shannon back. I'm sure he'll get increased playing time next year.

So the guy who single handedly won 2 playoff games for you against the Nuggs is peanuts? Your ass was bragging on Ariza all year, and now he's peanuts? You're an idiot

bad move for both teams not getting a sign and trade done.

No way LA wants to help you with that.

Watch the games man..he didn't and never will win anything singlehandedly. And if you watched the games you would know that the Lakers were already ahead in both games when Ariza got those steals.

[Donkeybong]

lol ariza single-handedly won both those games? Look, im a huge Ariza fan and would rather have kept him over Artest, but some of you spurs fans are ing delusional.

[Culburn369]

...and terribly bitter.

Silly rabbitt. Ariza won a game single-handed really? there are only 2 guys in the history of the League could TRuly argue they ALMOST one a game by themselves Wilt's 100 game and Kobe's 81 but i stilll wouldnt go THAT far ...
Look if you guys lost Roger Mason (solid role player who hit several game winners) for Artest or heck even Bowen has won games for you an you lose him to get more talent who doesnt make that move?

hated tos ee Ariza go so Im not ecstatic yet about Artest signing i need to see how it works BUT he is the better player at this point in his career ...REmember Ariza was riding pine in Orlando 18 months ago ...

I am actually more interested in the crime he is going to commit.
