i'll take Artest as a Laker, we really do need to sign Odom. Ariza has verbally commited to the Rockets.

i was listening to the sports radio show last night, and what the gentleman said made sense. you could see next year Ariza might not live up to what he did this year. he had just mentioned that there's that one player who makes a great impact in the season and the playoffs, and when they become a FA, they dont perform to the level they once did. and dude mentioned James Posey how he did good for the Celitics and that he was a main guy off the bench that Helped boston beat LA the year before. offseason came and that he signed the big money deal with New Orleans. and during the season he didnt live up to the hype that he did in Boston.

who's to say how Trevor will fit in Houston under Adelman's system. he might turned into a bust. we'll miss his presence in LA, but its the NBA and its business. and Artest is a hell of a player. ya cant pass up on a guy like him. Trevor could have took the $5.6 so he could win another title. but he just wanted more money and Houston gave it to him.

Any NBA Live 09 gamers having their 'NBA Live 365' updating all these off season moves?

True. I love Ariza, but Odom is more important. I forgot exactly what my dad said, but something about, every game we lost in the playoffs, (i think even in the reg season) Odom didnt score in the double digits.

Odom is more important.

Odom is more important.

Odom's versatility is what makes him important, but like you said when he has off nights, Lakers aren't that successful. Can the Lakers count on him to be consistent throughout his next contract? Can any team trust he'll show up to play night in, night out?



I'm just glad we've got a back-up for Ariza leaving, & someone to guard Jefferson, Pierce, Lebron, Vince, and all the other players Artest will have to guard.

 

[yak pac fatal]

odom is more important to the lakers.

spurs r interested in frye/mcydess/sheed n tiaggo splitter might come to the nba so the spurs win a ring in 2010

LOL iverson said hes interested in playin for the grizz, it should b the other way

hahahaha, i just got the text from my friend about Iverson. I laughed my ass off. He's not getting a damn ring in his career. He's just another john stockton.

The Boston Celtics are pressing Rasheed Wallace(notes) — for a decision, according to the Boston Globe.

The Globe reported that Ray Allen(notes), Kevin Garnett(notes), and Paul Pierce(notes) joined president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and managing partner Wyc Grousbeck for a three-hour meeting with Wallace in Detroit yesterday, the Celtics offering a contract using their midlevel exception. But Wallace is apparently in no hurry to respond, preferring to weigh approaches from Charlotte, Cleveland, Orlando, and San Antonio, according to an NBA source.

Bill Strickland, Wallace's agent, said in a text message that it was a "very good meeting; some contractual terms discussed, nothing agreed to.''

Strickland added Wallace will be "meeting with a few more teams next week.''

Wallace is coming off a five-year contract with the Pistons, earning $13.68 million last season. The teams courting Wallace would be offering the midlevel exception, worth between $5.6 million and $5.8 million. So, Wallace's choice will be based on other factors, and the Celtics believe they have an advantage because of the forward's relationship with Garnett and the team's good chance to compete for a championship, the Globe reported.

Wow, if wallace goes to Boston... wow.

Is playing in New York, rather than in Dallas, worth $12 million? Jason Kidd(notes) will have to decide if it is.

According to the New York Daily News, that is approximately the difference in the three-year offers Kidd received from the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks. A person close to the veteran point guard told the New York Daily News that the Knicks presented Kidd with a three-year contract worth approximately $18 million Saturday. The Mavs offered Kidd a three-year contract worth between $25 million and $30 million.

Kidd could take at least one more week to make a decision. Signings do not become official until this coming Wednesday. Mavs owner Mark Cuban is optimistic that Kidd will re-sign with Dallas, accoring to the Daily News.

The Knicks, who entertained Kidd on Wednesday, showed their commitment by offering three years. They originally planned to offer Kidd a one- or two-year contract but added a third year in order to stay competitive with Dallas.

Looks like he'll be a maverick.

AHAHAHAHHA
ariza-}arest
he is young and better
u got artest (that hopper)
but u do know he wll take like 20 shots per game
he will fuck lakers up
rumors saying rockets will get bosh

wow, now ariza is better than Artest?
Wasn't it the other way around during the playoffs? ahahahaha.

player hopper n shit... hopper.

 

[Jeremy]

Ariza and his agent are the biggest idiots ever. He left a championship team for a rebuilding one for only $200,000. Yao might be done. What a fuck up. I hope the Rockets don't even make the playoffs next year.

 

[Snowman]

not understanding Iverson going to the Grizz, what he doesnt want to win a title??? he would have been better off going to oklahoma city. why not even reunite with larry brown in charlotte

i see turk is getting closer to joining the blazers. thats a good pick up for them

 

[yak pac fatal]

i see turk is getting closer to joining the blazers. thats a good pick up for them

hes overrated n looks like hes gonna be overpaid. i think hes goin to the rapts

 

[arthurrrr]

this nikka kid dissing me over some shit that i wrote on myspace
dissing me when i couldnt respond....
shitttt
ahahah
this puss rigth here ahahah
but
what im saying is
think about it
do u think artest will be a lil bitch and take 9 shots a game?
hell naaa he will take kobe's shots
and he will miss most of them

and the reason why i said ariza go harder then artest is that
rockets will be puss next season no matter wat
yao is out
tmac is out
wafer is out
rockets r rebuilding
so it would be stupit for rockets to take ron - old nikka instead of ariza 24 years old
but
ron is a hopper
best hopper in history
and ariza is anti hopper
instead of hopping on lebrons's lap
he was ganster n shit
he was like fuck lebron
im a starter now bitches
ooo and
look at this gay shit

Kobe said that after the Lakers lost game six of the '08 NBA Finals in Boston by 39 points, he was alone in the shower, just fuming. He heard somebody walk in and assumed it was one of his teammates, or maybe a staff member. Instead, he looked up, and it was Ron Artest (to this day, Kobe has no idea how Artest got into the locker room).

"I want to come help you," Artest said. "If I can, I'm going to find a way to come to LA and give you the help you need to win a title."

Kobe didn't take that many shots this year anyways. He passed them to ariza and the role players. So im sure Kobe wouldn't mind artest takin shots. Besides, he's gonna be a starter... and gonna be worthy of taking some shots.

 

[yak pac fatal]

everyone will get their shots. kobe doesnt need to take 25 shots a game. bynum might be better, gasol still in his prime, artest is in his prime, theyll be fine.

kid, is farmar a free agent too? but yall dont need him, yall got sun yue aka the next magic

Noo i dont think farmar is a free agent. Sun yue should be in the d-league.

oo n art, change your sig son... that shit aint happening.

 

[_streethop101]

Whoever believes Iverson is wanting a ring, go lick a window, retards. It's apparent he just wants the spotlight again. Miami showed interest, and he wants Grizzlies, put it together.

Wont happen. Why?


Phil Jackson. He's dealt with Dennis Rodman in the past. Artest and Rodman are both crazy ass players with crazy ass attitudes. Phil will have it all under control Art.

During a recent interview on ESPN, newly signed Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest(notes) said the team needed to be "hoodalized.''

There is a difference of opinion whether signing the veteran, physical forward to a deal was a good thing or a bad thing. The deal has been both ripped and praised in the Los Angeles Times for example.

However, the Times did note that Artest, like him or not, will fill a void for the Lakers, who were viewed as "soft'' during different junctures of the regular season and playoffs.

The Times wrote: A little more than a month ago Denver physically pound them (the Lakers) to tie the Western Conference finals at two games each. They obviously toughened up enough to win those next two games, as well as the Finals, but this move was done with an eye toward the Eastern Conference. Now they have someone to slow down LeBron James(notes). And Paul Pierce(notes). (And also Carmelo Anthony(notes) . . . can't totally ignore the West.)
