[h1]http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60289/20090702/artest_to_sign_with_lakers/Bucher Reports: Artest to Cleveland Instead
[/h1]
Jul 02, 2009 9:55 PM EST
David Baumanm, Ron Artest's agent, told Ric Bucher that Artesthas pulled a fast one on the Lakers, and Artest is going to join LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
"Artest had a change of heart" Baumanm said to Bucher. "Apparently, Kobe (Bryant) didn't want Artest there."
Artest said he met with Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss Thursday and previously had spoken with Lakers coach Phil Jackson. It was a supposed done deal untilBryant heard of the news, and wanted Mitch to get Trevor Ariza back.
The parameters of the deal still need to be agreed upon, however.
Artest later tweeted, "I gonna try and help them repeat, but that's now how they wanted to get down! Sup Ohiooooo!"
The Cleveland Plain dealer confirms Bucher's report via Artest's agent.

he didnt even get paid though! thats the thing. how are you going to decline the lakers offer and then take someone elses offer for the sameamount? youre leaving LA, youre hometown, all your familys here, the fans support you, youre in a good situation where the offense caters to your skills, forhouston?! where hes going to be relied on to create his own shot?Originally Posted by Bigmike23

Funny thing is that is what he's going to get from Houston.
This is prob how the conversation with his agent went.
Trev: Alright, let's just re-up for the MLE.
David Lee: Nah, I'll make it seem like we are going to leave for a bigger contract. Then LA will give in and match that. If not we can always still takethe MLE.
Trev: You better not %#*@ this up.
David Lee: Ummm, bad news and good news. Lakers would rather have Artest, but Houston will give you the MLE.
Trev: !*#%#@$+%*%!

Lakers had that payday on the table and Ariza was disappointed by it.
In the end him and agent look straight DUMB because Mr. Lee drove his !@@ out of L.A.
Now he's gonna be stuck in humid @*! H-Town, playing with a broken Yao, a microfactured knee in T-Mac (also a lazy eye), Shane Battier (looks like he'sgonna get traded) and oh yeah, Brian Cook is on that squad ... how weird
*Edit: Marc Spears of Boston Globe is reporting 5 years, $33 million for Ariza in Houston

great day for my team
Trevor's agent is straight bananas
but overall, Ron is a better basketball player right now so this will make us better
Trevor has great upside cuz of his youth, but it's his loss to leave LA for HOU for the same $$$
now lets sign LO and we're set.

By the way, what if we can't sign LO? What are your guys' options/preferences?
If we can't sign him, I'd prefer Rasheed.
but signing LO is a huge priority
- Marion
- Hill
- Kleiza
- Varejao
- Rasheed
others?
