YugoRocketsFan

They didnt win rings when Jordan was retired and when he came back they won. Coincidence?

Through struggle - As I Lay Dying.

why is your rep the Lakers? werent you a mavs fan.

Fedor Emelianenko, best fighter on earth.

DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Vanessa Hudgens, more of my type. I like the petite girls.

some chinese site says that yao probably will need surgery but all the tissue and blood in his broken leg are fine and could speed up the healing process.

Rockets better get in on this, but Chandler wouldnt want to play for a rebuilding team.

Exactly, if he came to the NBA right now, he woulda made 97,000 his 1st season and 135,000 his 2nd season. This way he makes 5-6 million each season for the next 2 seasons in europe. lol @ everyone saying, omgz what a dick when 99% of people woulda done the same, this is millions we are talking about, at 18 years old, that money looks lovely to us.

Artest is a good defender vs big sfs, pierce, melo, turkoglu, etc. But he wont be a good defender vs Roy, Wade, etc.

Hes young, and can defenitely get better, and is 5 years younger than Artest.

Boston no. Cleveland, probably. I dont think he will cause trouble but he will jack up shots and that wont work in the triangle.

Cool man, glad to know that i annoy you. Im showing you what Laker fans do everyday but from my perspective. We only swung in the 1st place because Laker fans never gave credit to Boston and predicted sweeps.

OMGZ WE ARE THE BEST, WE ARE THE LAKERS, THA WORLD CHAMPS, BUT WHY DOES EVERYONE FIND US LAKER FANS ANNOYING, WE ARE NORMAL PPL.

Kobe isnt the 2nd best player, he won only 1 ring as a 1st option.

Read my, rockets are rebuilding thread, I know we are going to suck this upcoming year, im not blind (no insult). You guys wont get Lebron James, he doesnt want to play with ko-me. You guys will be good, but wont be as good when you won the ring.

lol its alright real deal, lets just wait till season begins and when artest starts sucking you guys will be like OMGZ ARTEST AND LUKE FOR LEBRON, DO IT MITCH

lol, so you have no doubt in your mind that Artest will probably mess up more than Ariza? You think a guy that has been a ball stopper his entire career will automatically stop because hes playing with a top 2 player. The Lakers do add more talent but they dont add a piece that helps them as Ariza.

Exactly, laker fans are all like OMGZ ARTEST, MORE TALENT, WE GUNNA WIN RINGZ CUZ WE HAVE MORE TALENT. Ariza fit the Lakers perfectly. The Lakers dont need a ball stopper, they need a person who takes easy shots, a high intensity player, sort of like Battier, not an Artest.

lol...... And you can enjoy a guy who jacks up random shots and will probably be the reason you guys dont win a title. You guys had a better chance with Ariza honestly This signing wont be one of those,OMGZ WE GET TALENTED PLAYER MEANS WE GET BETTER signings. Ariza fit better defensively and was a cherry picker who took smart shots and made it when he needed to and stepped up in the playoffs. Artest is good defensively but his performance on offense is very weird and he shot so terribly in the playoffs. this wont help the Lakers as much as fans are boasting about and I dont even see the Lakers winning a title now.

The lineup just looks better on paper. You guys will miss Ariza.

An singer? wut. nice grammar. If i become a singer id sing about life and girlfriends and stuff. Id be in a screamo band and be the main vocalist.

You are a dumbass.

No matter where a player is traded he will not change what he does on offense. Rafer has always been a terrible shooter, he goes to the Magic he is still a [expletive]ty shooter, thats why the Lakers left him open a lot in the finals, the guy just doesnt know how to shoot and Rafer was visibly one of the reasons they got owned so bad in the playoffs. Artest will find ways to shoot 16 times and he will force up shots. He may be friends with the Laker players, but that doesnt matter at all, he will force shots, he will still be a ball-stopper and he will be an offensive free lancer. He also did terrible in the playoffs vs the Lakers. He may be good defensively and get steals, but what he does on offense doesnt make the defense seem that good. Just warning you, dont get TOO happy about getting Artest, you may be joyful but if you get too happy you'll just get set up for another let-down. Stay optimistic, not too optimistic, knowwhatibsayinB?

Wafer declined a 3.5 million contract.
