They are actually really good friends. I know that fans of other teams don't want to hear it but truth is truth. Plus Odom and Artest areeven tighter.

This is a no-brainer. Who in their right mind would pick the mistake by the lake over Los Angeles CA? The Lakers are defending champs and are about to win tomore and the Cavs are one year away from being a team without Lebron. Artest to LA > Shaq to Cleveland.

thank you god! thank you mitch. kobe obviously had some say in this. finally it happened!!!

haha rj making a diff for the spurs??? don't think so in comparison to this.

Just WOW.

Might as well skip the Season and start right with the Playoffs.

 

[dyyhard]

im sure this interview of Artest interviewing Kobe was posted somewhere in these 16 pages, im not checking all 16 pages.

 

[JLD1523]

ariza is a better fit so this is a downgrade. artest may be a better individual player, but he jacks up ridiculous shots, go out of the offense, dribbles way too much, and his defense was terrible in the playoffs for houston indivudally v. roy and kobe.

Phil will fix that in a hurry.

...but what system is thew homie..graphics are horrible

 

[gingersaintbad]

I am thrilled with the projected lineup of Fish, Kobe, Artest, Pau, and Bynum with Odom, Farmar, Brown, coming off the bench. Repeat?

 

[baalnood]

thats freaking awesome!

 

[dj236]

I feel like crying right now

If they can keep Odom (which is probable) they can win in absolutely any way imaginable on any night

 

[pill clinton]

[h1]Bucher Reports: Artest to ClevelandInstead
[/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.
