It makes me sick how so many teams let this opportunity slip through their fingers. Artest would be AWESOME on the Mavs. They are notorious for their horrid defense. Their offense is already kickin, and Artest isnt bad at offense either!! The fact that they don't want to trade Stackhouse for Artest makes my stomache aching. I bet Avery Johnson gets blowjobs from Stack.
See...The man is ridiculous. If he wasn't this good, he would never be allowed to pull shit like this...Shit, even if he was on Devean George's skill-level, I believe he woulda' been kicked out of the league a LONGGG time ago for the way he acts...This is why I don't want him in LA... Fuck Artest and his problems...

Fuck Artest and his problems... Phil had Rodman in Chicago. I dunno if Rodman kept it together cus of Phil....or Jordan/Pippen. Or, maybe all three. Artest has problems for sure....but if i were a team who wasnt a contender right now, id go for it. I wouldnt want him on my team right now, but we have a solid roster and he would be a distraction. The Lakers are still in somewhat of a transition stage, without a real chemistry yet anyways. Why not take a chance.

Rodman was just an attention whore, but he still understood things, Aretst is more of a retard who doesn't realize what he does until the month after...Fact is, Lakers are playing great. The chemistry is building, they've re-emerged as an obvious playoff team, and by the end of the year, I believe they will be mentioned under the same breath as all the other contenders...WITHOUT ARTEST.

Just not as mature (he IS younger), but more talented. As for the Lakers...i dont see them as a contender this year man. Be real with yourself. They are playing good right now, i admitted that. But i do think theyll be streaky all year, with a lot of ups and downs.

I believe that in March, they'll be 10 times better than they are now...It's the way Phil works usually.

One way or another (and im sure youll agree), theyre gonna need more then Kobe scoring 35+ a night to win in the playoffs. You can beat good teams during the regular season...but in a 7 game series, and more then likely for the Lakers, without homecourt advantage...theyre definetely gonna need some others to step up. They need some people out there who are able to knock down threes consistently...i mean, dependable. Kobe shooting fade away jumpers during the playoffs isnt gonna get it done. theyre gonna need him slashing to the basket...getting in the paint, and causing problems there. but without anyone on the outside making shots...teams will just collapse on him in the lane.

We don't need a player who demands a lot of offense, that's why Odoms good for out system...I think Lakers will do fine.
