    I could care less about this Artest deal. He can only make the Lakers slightly better defensively. They are losing scoring punch with Ariza leaving and they could still lose Odom, who is a more versatile player than Artest. I really can't see why a defending champ would make a move like this. They really must be sweating the Spurs.

    I hope he loses it on RJ's got ass. You guys are scared with that midget lineup, I know you are.
    Scared of Ron hitting me with one of his airballs if I sit behind the basket, yeah. 27%

    Have a look at their shooting percentages vs Ron Artest this past year. All were well below their averages.

    LeBron - 40% shooting
    Melo - 40% shooting
    Paul Pierce - 41% shooting

    Ron's an elite defender against over-sized Small Forwards and Shooting Guards.

    It's no secret, just ask some Cav fans who gives LeBron the most problems...Ron Artest.
    Yea, those players don't move fast. He can't guard 2s like Kobe or Roy thotugh, they are too fast for him


    LeBron doesn't move fast?

    Its funny how Spurs fans think Artest will hurt our repeat chances. Were not done yet. You guys went out there and made some deals, well we can make some deals too, only we get discounts...lol!!!
    Artest is the Dennis Rodman of our error. People said that when the Rod-man went to Chi-Town he destroy the team chemistry and look what Phil did there.

    The Lakers seem to be countering the Spurs move, which suck, but it looks, if they can sign him to work. We get Jefferson, they sign Artest to stop him.

    I think the Spurs still have some tricks up their sleeves. If Sheed doesn't work ok, I'm sure R.C. will move quickly to plan B

    Ariza would've been much better able to stop Jefferson.

    "The Dennis Rodman of our error"?

    Although, I do think Rodman as a Spur was indeed an error, I think you meant to say "era".

    I think the Spurs have done an amazing job so far with Blair and RJ, but no big man to help TD, and it was all for nothing. Im leaning towards Sheed signing with the Spurs. If he does, then the Lakers and Spurs are neck and neck.
    I agree

    Ariza choosing to go to Houston is like getting dumped by Paris Hilton. Nice , celebrity status, a little skinny, but she will be missed.

    But, later that night you get a call from Kim Kardashian for some straight raw, rough sex. This is how we feel about getting Artest. And we didnt even have to take the out for an expensive meal. GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

    Enjoy your herpes!

    Move doesn't concern me as much as a re-signing of Ariza. I feel like both players fit better within their respective roles with the teams they played for this year.

    well I think it makes the Lakers better. Artest is an upgrade from Ariza imo and Artest always seems to give the Spurs trouble because of his size.
    Of course its an upgrade for the Lakers.

    I disagree. Artest will get more physcal which is the best way to counter Jefferson.

    if Jefferson is the main ball handler then yeah. But chances are he'll be cutting off screens. Artest won't be able to keep up.

    Artest is a net plus for them IMHO. He's calmed down for the last couple of years.

    Kim Kardashian??? ROTFFLMFAO

    Dude, her ass is so big it makes Shaq & Glen 'Big Baby' Davis' asses look like they are both anorexic. That is one goofy looking . You people in Plastic Land sure have funny taste in women. Come to Texas where we have REAL women...NO plastic required...!

    The Spurs need to show that they are on the Laker's level and not the other way around. Let us not forget that they could not even make it past the pathetic Dallas Mavericks in the 1st round with HCA, they have a long way to go.

    Lakers = 2009 NBA Champions
    Spurs = 1st round losers

    How long are Laker fans going to live in the past? 2009 is over.

    Let it go.

    Wouldn't quite be a Spurs' offseason thread without Dr. House checking in to try and temper our growing confidence.

    too early to tell. this is one of those hit or miss moves imo. we'll just have to wait and see. i wouldnt be surprised either way.
    Best post in the entire thread. This one could break either way, and there's no way to tell until we see how Phil manages his new gorilla.

    What confidence could you possibly have?

    No front court. No championship. Spurs still need another HUGE piece to compete and Rasheed Wallace is not that piece. It's like nobody watched that guy play last season, he's a s of himself. No posting up, no defense, just chucking 3's all day long.

    I actually don't even think Artest is going to be a problem at all in regards to his at ude or ego..I just don't think his game can fit well on a legit le contender..

    house, you live in a very small, drug induced world. Open the damn windows, turn on a fan to clear the air and come to the realization that Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson are both dead. As far as you being certified as brain-dead, you will come to your senses next June when you watch the Spurs take the le back.
