Just read that Artest is coming to the lakers...I personally think he might be a problem for the lakers..too much tood...I dont like it..but what ever..sheesh its like getting Dennis Rodman all over again for Phill Jackson...he better rope that boy in and shape him up.
Ron Ron is an upgrade from Ariza at only 6 mil a year. That's mid level money in the NBA. The Lakers offered Ariza around the same and he wanted more so he went to Houston for less go figure. I think Artest brings the attitude and toughness that the Lakers lack. plus if he's with the lakers he's not anywhere else. Imagine if he went to cleavland.. labron, shaq and ron ron? that's a tough team. I don't like the trade yet it makes sense for the Lakers getting him at such a good price. i won't like the trade until i see Artest in the purple and gold then i am going to love it.
