Heard about Artest going to LA from an AM 570 dude yesterday night at a friend`s birthday party and was ecstatic. I do have my doubts about the dude (egotistical, prone to throw up bad shots), but he does bring toughness to the team, one thing that has been missing for a long time.
I heard from same dude that Jordan Farmar will probably be released.
Dennis Rodman 2010 coming for Phil though....it`s clearly a double-edged sword for the Lakers though. You get the good with the bad. Hopefully there`s more good that comes out of this as the season rolls along.
perimeter defense him and kobe will alllow the lakers to dominate he can shoot as good and draw fouls better than ariza toughness which soft batches like pau lack will odom resign(probably)
Hedo made a poor decision goint toronto. But 10 mil is 10 mil I guess. Supposedly his wife weighed in.
We're kinda fucked now. We need to sign somwone this year with the Lafrentz money. Who's the best small forward left unsigned?
Why can't Portland run the pick and pop with Rudy? Dude is small but can really shoot. Does one have to be over 6' 7" to make a screen effective?
shawn marion would be a good pickup-- it's just convincing dude that he's better at the sf than the pf position. (it's like he's 6'8" and has small-man complex). He's good at slashing/moving without the ball, but can't really create his own shot w/ his back to the basket-- much more sf (where he was playing in miami) than pf (where he played in phx). either way, he's a great defender in either spot.
He might be a steal if he signs for a maximum of 3 years (he's getting a bit long in tooth), but he's never injured, super athletic, didn't do much to up his value last season while being shuffled around 2 teams, and toronto will not be looking to resign him now that they acquired turkoglu and are tryin to resign bosh.
also- his agent's a dick, but is realistic. marion's got (i think) option for one year at 17 mil (!!!) which he can cut out on for longer term money. he's also aware that being a free agent in 2010 is lucrative for a select few players, of which marion is not on that exclusive list.

It was reported that he and his wife liked Toronto more cuz it's cosmopolitan. Plus 10 mil ain't bad.
All of a sudden, I don't blame Trevor for leaving for Houston. Trevor got Allstar potential, gets a nice long contract, and he's young. Might as well explore his options.

Ariza is never gonna be that franchise player. Dude should know where he fits.
He got his ring though and should look to get paid. Houston is done.
Lets see how he responds on a nightly basis when the defense is tailored for him as oppossed to when he was a floater around K.O.B.E. and Gasol.

I dont see Ariza as an ALL-Star.
Ariza leaving LA for Houston seems very similar to Posey leaving Boston for New Orleans. Ariza was a great fit for the Lakers and he will be lucky if he fits as well anywhere else in his career.

Once again, I`m saying that Vince will not take Orlando over the top.

I did like the Kid Sensation with Ken Griffey Jr. debut back in the early 90's.

Now im gonna keep my eye on Boston to see how they add to the mix. Rasheed is good look if it happens.
