Artest signing with Lakers

[hella_numb]

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. right now."

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 financial manager'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 got me."

^^^Ariza's a free agent and wants out of LA cuz they wont offer him more than the mid-level exception (5.8 mil or something like that). Rumors are he's gonna sign with the Cavs.

Fuck the Lakers,and isnt odom a fA?

 

[OG_Carl_Weather]

Lakers probably woulda been better off keepin Ariza and that whole team together. I wouldnt be sold on Artest bein added to the mix. While he is no doubt a better player than Ariza, he is a wild card in the head sometimes.

 

[WiCkEd]

THEY NEED TO KEEP ARIZA..
