Trevor who?
Just when Laker fans were starting to curse management for letting Trevor Ariza go, free agent forward Ron Artest announced that he’s going to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Artest is taking a paycut to come to Hollyweird, verbally agreeing to a proposed three-year, $18 million contract.
Meanwhile, Trevor Ariza is headed to Houston to replace Artest.
Ron Artest > Trevor Ariza.
Yes, Artest has a couple of screws loose and he’s bound to get into trouble in Los Angeles, but his play on the court more than makes up for the risk.
No knock on Ariza, who developed into a fine role player in the playoffs, but he’s headed to his fourth team in five seasons for a reason.
If the Lakers can find a way to resign Odom to play alongside the fellow New Yorker Artest, get ready for another Championship parade next June.
