when they were playing the rockets kobe couldn’t handle him this is gonna make us a lot stronger lakers fans comment cleveland fans your team wanted artest not ariza so get ready to settle not select

i agree. ariza wanted to much for his 9 points and 4 rebound i wish him the best in houston

trevor ariza is a great forward. he aided the team in a great championship series. various media outlets have reported he felt as though fellow team members did not desire his presence. whether factual or not, i know he must have felt the immense dedication of innumerable fans who ventured to the coliseum in 90 degree humid weather. i know i did. mi neice and i. shes one years old but watches the games. she cheered and laughed, gleefully, after enduring the humidity, as trevor passed. dont leave trevor.. not yet.

DA LAKERS A GOOD FORWARD IN TREVOR ARIZA BUT GAINED AN EVEN BETTER FORWARD IN RON ARTEST!!! I JUST HOPE HE CAN FIT INTO DA SYSTEM!!IM PRETTY SURE HE WILL SINCE PHIL JACKSON IS COMIN BACK. LETS NOT 4GET PHIL JACKSON COACHED DENNIS RODMAN. SO ALL WE NEED 2 DO IS SIGN LAMAR BACK N LAKERS 2 3 OR EVEN 4 PEAT!!

LAKERS R DA BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO way
Ariza is 6 years younger than Artest

i dont think that the Lakers would of one that championship without ariza

Artest will also mess up the Laker chemistry!

Ariza is stupid because he is leaving a championship team for a rockets team that might lose its best player

Don’t get me wrong I believe Ariza had a huge hand in that championship as well, but as far as Artest messing up the Lakers chemistry, I think you are dead wrong. Ron Artest is considered by many to be a loose cannon but Phil Jackson is the type of coach that can mold his personality into something far better. Artest is a good ball player and is in some cases underrated, but with the coaching of Phil Jackson he will become one of the greats. I myself want the Lakers to repeat but this upcoming season is gonna be one to watch and will be very exciting with the moves being made and ones still to take place. Get ready for some good basketball and an unpredictable season.

ariza will sign with lakers tomorrow ?

do u follow basketball

LMAO!!

lakers alot better wit artest..so, ariza see ya!!!

ay u just lied KB24 didnt struggle against Ron, look at the stats he averaged 25+pts.

rockets will be a way better team without artest anyway now that we have ariza

well artest is better then ariza, but if the lakers dont sing odom i say, no ring

i hope ariza has a good few years in houston, but i won’t be surprised if he flopps either. and i am glad we got artest, odom’s under contract now, might as well start engraving the trophies.

First of all nobody can handle Artest but Kobe held his own, and second Artest couldn’t handle Kobe, so 2 say that he couldn’t handle Artest was, well, pointlessly dumb. Now about Ariza, he was great for the Lake Show this year, but I think when it came time 2 negotiate w/ him the Lakers might of learned from experience. Remember Devon George. The Lakers gave him his money after his good season and his great performance in their title run. And what has he done since, only 1 thing. VANISH! Now yes he’s still in the league, but he ain’t doin much. And everyone is going 2 say Ariza is not Devon George, (lets wait and see) but lets face it Ron Artest had been doing it consistently for years now. He’s the sure thing, u will get it on the floor from him every night. Not 2 mention, he’s way better than Ariza. Artest has put up his numbers while being the man on his team. Now he’s going 2 have so many open looks, and b so much fresher when it comes 2 playoff time, shit the whole team is gonna be better rested come playoff time cuz every game it can b some one different 2 lead the way, So yeah I could care less about Ariza’s departure. So well...............Go Lake Show! This year look out 4 Sasha Vujacic!
