NBA Off-Season News Thread: Roy extends 80/5, AI to Grizz, Chandler/Okafor swap, Marquis to C's.

The ONLY way I'll get over losing out on Ron Ron is getting Trevor (who I wanted more anyways)

...Also, I'll go BANANAS if we get Sheed, but itlooks like he's gonna be a C or Spur from the sound of things.

False alarm.

Who the hell puts a headline at the VERY VERY VERY VERY TOP of the page.

I still don't see a source though, it's just on the top of the page...

the source is a writer who works for them. That is the source. I dontunderstand how it could be any clearer. Its happening. Adjust. I dont know how you expect the dude to write an article in like 5 minutes

Amare said he was going to the Lakers too.

I'm just saying, I'm not saying it's not possible, it's very possible, but knowing Ron Artest? It's not like it's Battier we'rehearing from.

 

[kiddin like jason]

...I swear to God, if this is another false alarm, I'm gonna kill someone...

im pretty sure the only thing they can give him is the MLE.

Seriously though, it the Lakers get artest and re-sign Odom its a wrap for the league

 

[raptors29]

Idk, I don't trust Ron Artest anymore. Dude signed with just about everyone last night.

 

[ctdaprince]

im prayin this is true cause thiis will cover for the loss of Ariza

 

[enrique23]

artest>ariza in just about every way offensively and defensively

artest is crazy though

 

[outacontrol music]

Welp, here's to Ron Ron imploding that team, destroying the locker room and taking horrible shots night in and night out...

Cavs need to take a HARD look at Marion. I prefer him over Ariza...

 

[daddyrabbit251]

artest is crazy though

[h2]Artest To Sign WithLakers[/h2]

Jul 02, 2009 6:56 PM EST

Ron Artest has told Ken Berger of CBSSports.com that he will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

"I'm definitely going to L.A. -- to sign, yeah," Artest said in a phone interview. "Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. I'm in L.A. rightnow."

Artest said he met with Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss Thursday and previously had spoken with Lakers coach Phil Jackson. He was en route to his financialmanager's office, where he planned to huddle on the phone with his agent, David Bauman, to finalize details.

The parameters of the deal still need to be agreed upon, however.

"I don't really care about the money," Artest said. "I'll play there for nothing. ... L.A. was very interested in me, and they gotme."

LOL

Weren't you going hard last night about wanting to get him? Sounds like some NaCl to me

 

[kal ripped ken]

if phil jackson can control Rodman, he can control Artest. I still wish we kept Ariza though given his shot selection.
