Artest To the Lakers. Yaa.

[KG Living Legend]

 That sucks. Ron and Kobe and Pau. A tuff defender on the team full of baby's. Im in slight shock.

 A three year deal with the full MLE. Right from Ron's mouth on Sportcenter. This is awful, Artest is everything they need in one guy. With his head on straight he's like James Posey on Steroids...

 Oh wait, he is on steroids. Next year is going to be extra tuff now. We need Wallace. Bad.

He's a good fit, not perfect. Artest is a disaster on offense, they'll have to completely scratch the triangle with him on the court.

They only run the triangle about a third of the time anyways now a days.

You would usually say it is tough to find a silver lining in a dark cloud but in this case, it is tough to find the dark cloud.  He brings way more than Ariza brings.  This made all the sense in the world and Artest to Cle made no sense.  LA has a starting spot at his position.

Unfortunately the same problem exists for the Celtics with Wallace.  Both Cle and SA have starting openings for him at his natural position of PF (albeit a little hybrid PF/C in SA).  The Celtics don't.

Hey, maybe we end up with Odom once all the dominos fall.

Lakers are gonna be, check that are the favorite to win the title w/ this addition.I would have to agree w/ this until we start making some moves.
