Lakers’ Fearsome Foursome: Artest, Kobe, Odom And Pau
Lake Show Life | A Los Angeles Lakers Blog —
... ESPN’s Chris Broussard is reporting that Ron Artest and the Lakers have agreed on a three-year, $18 million deal. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this signing, is that the Lakers now, at least on paper, have one of the most-imposing foursomes ever to step on NBA hardwood together. Think about it in these terms (as Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith often did last season)… ...
Ariza, Gone Baby Gone: The impact for the future
Lakers blog —
By next week, we can now safely presume, when NBA free agents can actually sign contracts, Trevor Ariza will be a Houston Rocket, and Ron Artest will join the reigning world champion Lakers.
Those wearing purple-and-gold-colored glasses immediately celebrated the news as an upgrade. Ariza, who will get the same first-year salary from Houston that he thought was an insult from the Lakers, and his agent David Lee were pilloried by the formerly adoring masses.
Snap out of it. The kid wanted a decent raise after helping his team survive the Western ...

Early Ariza reports are not exactly promising
