Well if you can believe Ron Artest he is apparently the newest LA Laker to be after accepting a free agent offer from the Lake Show.  I have to say I really don’t like this move but its entirely for personal reasons.  Artest has proven that when he can keep his head in the game (or stay on his meds depending on who you listen to) that he can be a great player however this last season he also appeared to miss a step in his game defensively and has proven that he can be a chucking liability on the offensive end at times.

That said, this move also has a strange symmetry to Rodman joining the Bulls.  If anybody can reign in Ron Ron and get some production out of him its going to be Phillip the 10th and you just know this move wasn’t made with Kobe’s approval so I guess I will try and look at the positive side and say that he’ll be an upgrade over Ariza…hopefully.
