The reason is Ron Artest and the Triangle pretty much have to work well as the team’s quick-strike fast break attack has taken a major hit. Ariza was a key ingredient to the break and this yr’s team has no speed on the wing w/Artest,Walton or Morrison. This year’s Lakers are going to have to do a lot of half-court grinding it out type games.

We went from concerns about Ron Artest being a head case to concerns about Ron Artest's ability as a basketball player. What I can't wait for is the first time Paul Pierce takes Artest to the hoop. Foul. Next time Mr. Herky-Jerky drives to the hoop, stops and pops. Foul.
If Kobe couldn't guard Paul Pierce two years ago when Kobe was 28, I'm pretty sure a 30-year-old head case who can't run the floor won't be able to guard him either.
5 years at 5-7 million per.
Just keep repeating that to yourselves, Laker fans.

I love it. I was talking to a Rockets fan the other day and he was saying that Artest has lost several steps on defense and that they were happy to get rid of him. He is now and always has been a me first player. But he should fit in fine with the Fakers because that is a whole team full of me first players (with the possible exception of Derick Fisher)
Me first in two ways, on the court and in the britney spears sense of I want some media attention first!
