Holy, F@@kin bajesus!!! This team is now extremely loaded with talent, how good is next season gonna be? :pimp:

Wow, my first thought was Phil you have your work cut out, managing Kobe, artest and Odom is gonna be one tough task...

[ElPigto]

Artest is not signing for the MLE :oldlol:

[hihellohi765]

i'd rather just have Odom and Ariza. Hope that happens

how about you cite a fukcing source?

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

Artest is not signing for the MLE :oldlol:

How are we just supposed to believe you with "my sources"

Give us some credible source, I'd like this but I highly doubt Artest takes MLE.

[Gundress]

Bull****! that's because you just watching ESPNNews. It's not official yet.

[ElPigto]

did i say MLE?

There is no other way to sign him doofus. You really think our GM is going to help you guys out by doing a sign and trade. Unless we get a significant piece to whatever is left to our puzzle, we are not going to deal with you guys.

I'd hate to see Ariza go. :( Hope this isn't true.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Man, I don't know how they couldn't repeat if this really does happen. This would be better than the Magic getting Carter and the Spurs getting Jefferson.

Bynum
Gasol
Artest
Kobe
Fisher
Odom

The most talented team in the NBA and this is coming from someone who is not a big Lakers fan. That team would just be really freakin' awesome to watch.

um....if Lakers got Artest and held onto Odom it would be over. Ariza is a good role player but no where near the player Ron Artest is.

[hihellohi765]

Can't put your source on ISH. Its not that hard, buddy. I promise.

[purple8gold]

True or not, I'm not sure how giving up Ariza for Artest will affect the team's chemistry. Giving up Ariza, after what he's done especially in the playoffs and finals, would be very hard to swallow. It may not mean a lot to many, but he's a local kid who went to UCLA. :cheers:

[Samurai Swoosh]

um....if Lakers got Artest and held onto Odom it would be over. Ariza is a good role player but no where near the player Ron Artest is.
I would trade Odom / Ariza for Artest. Bryant and Artest is the duo I always wanted to see. The defense would be on a 100 thousand, TRILLION.

[gyu]

Please ban him.

[Showtime]

Most of you know Odom and Artest are tight.

Artest has also been in LA recently, and loves LA.

Artest has expressed a desire to play with his buddy Odom and Kobe.

Artest has expressed a desire to win a championship.

Yeah, if this went through somehow, I don't see chemistry as a problem. Phil can handle his ego.

You can't be serious. Artest was a chucker when he had to be. Under PJ, with the likes of Gasol on his team, and Bryant (someone he admires) leading them as the alpha dog. That crap would be held in check. Ariza is inferior to Artest in every category of the game. The defense would be bolstered like no other.

[clayton]

Clearly he does not, if he is asking for $9 million per.
I meant on the court.

[Thom.Yorke]

it is interesting to hear this. i would start artest over ariza and would probably prefer artest due to his toughness and defense. i say the lakers just sign all 3 and 3 peat.

fish/artest/bryant/gasol/bynum

bench
brown/ariza/odom/farmar/powell/walton/vujacic

[brantonli]

Artest is asking for 12 million a year, unless the Rockets do a sign-and-trade with the Lakers (and I don't see why on earth they would want to help them out) the Lakers can't get Artest. It's just like that wet dream Spurs (I think) fans had when Maggette was a FA, and people were saying he was going to sign for MLE.

[NewYorkUSCtrojan]

http://blogs.pe.com/prosports/2009/06/could-artest-be-on-the-lakers.html
If either Ariza or Odom prove to be too expensive for the Lakers, one backup option could be Houston forward Ron Artest, a player Kupchak has targeted in the past.

Agent David Bauman said Tuesday afternoon that the Lakers, Cleveland Cavs and Orlando Magic were three teams he expected to join Houston in pursuit of Artest.

"Ron's tight with Kobe," Bauman said. "From a basketball perspective, the Lakers make perfect sense. Ron is a winner. His best fit is when he's on a winning team. He shoots the three, posts up smaller guys, and defensively he's a beast. Certainly those are skills a contending team would find attractive."

Bauman would not discuss salary demands for Artest, but few teams have the cap room to pay more than the mid-level exception, expected to be valued at slightly less than $6 million.

Artest has said his first choice would be to re-sign with Houston, a fact that Bauman said hasn't changed despite Yao Ming's foot injury being more serious than first believed.

"He's hopeful Yao is going to be healthy," Bauman said. "Even if Yao misses some time, Ron's confident Yao will be back on the court. It's not affecting his decision one way or the other."

[NewYorkUSCtrojan]

Hmmm, buzzzing on sports radio says Artest might be a Lakers too..

He apparently wants $12 million. If that's the case, I don't think the Lakers have enough money to sign him through free agency [like EVERYBODY else in this topic has already said]. You can 'target' him, but it doesn't mean anything else will fall through. Will Artest likely take 3-4 million a YEAR less than he would in Houston? Doubt it, but there's always a 'slight' chance, just as there is a 'slight' chance LeBron takes less with wherever he signs, or Chris Bosh, or anybody.

Lakers would be better off just keeping Ariza.

We saw what happened with Payton and Malone... don't underestimate team chemistry and synergy.

[NewYorkUSCtrojan]

Personally, I love Ariza. However, I would spend 9mil on Artest than Ariza.

[imdaman99]

You sure thats a good fit? Ariza while individually may not be the player that Artest is, but he sure plays his role perfectly. He gambles and gets big steals that sometimes turn the game around. I don't remember Artest doing things like that for years and years. Yeah Artest could be a better fit, if that guy would learn to play his role. As in, 110% on defense, and don't worry about your offense. You're a gifted player, your points will come. But no, he has a 2 cent brain :rolleyes:

Anyways, I don't think this is gonna happen.

[brantonli]

artest is not going to get 12million a year...everybody knows that....if you think he is going to get that much then u are a retard

I never said anybody will sign Artest for 12 mil, I said he WANTED 12 mil. Personally I'll just offer him a contract of 9 million and nothing more. But I think the 12 million price tag is just the agent's way of overshooting in the first meeting then negotiating a fairer price. Plus, we could always entice Artest with a chinese shoe contract.

Actually i believe the maximum exposure would be playing next to two of the three or four biggest stars in the league at this moment (note I didn't say best). Playing next to Shaq/Bron is going to bring in uncharted revenue for any player that wants to play in Cleveland.

You should have starting saying "Inside source of my say Artest signed with the Lakers along with Odom"... You talk like it is official, it is not, your source might be wrong, a guy might have lied to you and you believed...

Ron Artest want to be a rapper so he want to move to LA because of that? Are you KIDDING ME?
I don't think you have a grasp of how these stuff works, I think you're either too naive or too young, probably both.

Id rather have Ariza. He's low maintenance and much younger. He's pretty good and still have upside. Though getting artest is not that bad. He provides toughness, something LA need. oh well, lets wait and see

[RoseCity07]

No one can sign anything until the 8th. Leave it.

[shawbryant]

I hope it is not true. Ariza has rescued the Lakers several times in the playoff, he is one of the heroes to lead the team to the title.

The title of this thread really should be changed.

[John Smith]

Sounds like a downgrade...

[momo]

If the Lakers are unable to sign Odom or Ariza, they might pursue Houston forward Ron Artest, who made $7.4 million last season but became more attractive to the Rockets almost overnight amid reports that center Yao Ming might miss next season because of a broken foot.

If I am the Lakers, this is a way in which they could get some negotiating leverege over Ariza and his agent, David Lee. If the rumor is out there, I am sure they don't mind it flying aroudn out. (not that I beleive the original post)

Nice, repped.

[LA_Showtime]

This seems like a good guess instead of having a reliable source with inside information. It's funny reading the comments from the first 8-9 pages.:lol

[brantonli]

Lol I'd admit I was quite wrong, but never in my wildest dreams I thought we'd be getting Ariza. Oh well, nice prediction.

Yup I talked to Artest and he confirmed last night

[kokopeds]

lakers kobe fan.... wow,, that was a real scoop,, 3 days before it actually happened !!!!

[GOBB]

Not going to read thru this thread of replies. Was this a guess or an actual inside source? Because not for nothing? My friend is a big Lakers fan and said after L.A won the championship they will keep Odom and go after Artest who said he would take less money to play for the Lakers. I told him he was nuts because Artest taking less? Nah. He'll demand just enough where Lakers cant afford him. Well look at what happened.

Was this the same thing?
Was this just a guess that came true?
Or do you know someone?

Again, not reading this entire thread to find the answers. And not here to slam you for calling it. Just curious.

[Killer_Instinct]

A lot of people took a few L's in here. Feeling real salty right now.

I have been here for on this forum for 3 or more years i guess....I never created threads like this. My friend told me about this cause the lakers were concern about who will be guarding Melo/PP/ Lebron.....

so this came from my friend....
