Source: Rotoworld per CBS sportsline

Rockets unrestricted free agent Ron Artest told CBSSportsline.com that he is going to sign with the Lakers.

CBS's Ken Berger offers no details, but says they are coming. Artest is a huge coup for the Lakers if the news is true, as they could then afford to lose Trevor Ariza (who, ironically, could be joining the Rockets) and/or Lamar Odom to free agency.

If you could get Artest would you want Ariza? I wouldnt.

Im really sick of the rich getting richer. Thats all the NBA has become. These teams have no fear of the the luxary tax anymore and they are spitting in the face of the salary cap. Its becoming silly. LA, Cleveland, Boston, Portland, Orlando and Detriot are the only teams making any noise. This is bad for basketball

I agree 140%. I f**king hate the Lakers!!!!! I cant stand these bastards man, always pull poo like this off. They win a title in '82 and get the #1 pick and take James Worthy!!!! A HOFer. Getting Abdul Jabbar from Milwaukee. Raping the Hornets for Kobe, Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, seems like the Lakers are always taking sorry ass small market teams best players and trading away their garbage for them. The fact that Ariza chose Houston stinks like a mudder f**ker. Artest is a guy I really respect as a basketball player, but him joining the Lakers makes him a SELLOUT to me. I pray to my maker that the Bobcats sweep these clowns again next year.

In the words of someone much smarter than me, "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

It's not the Lakers fault that the league is set up the way it is. Should they not try and improve? Anyway, get ready for a repeat and then a threepeat. :D

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
