Ron OUR Test

dreamRon Artest on Wednesday officially became a part of the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

Artest received a five-year deal worth about $33 million dollars. This either can be a major headache, or what seems to be more likely…

An absolute steal

Career averages of 16.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.1 steals.

An all-star caliber player, who has been named to All-Defensive teams, has won a Defensive Player of the Year award, and shot 40% from behind the three point line last season.

No offense to Trevor Ariza. He gave hustle, heart, and a will to improve on his game. He showed up on the biggest stage, and was a huge part why the Lakers won a NBA championship.

But Artest is better, a lot better, there’s just no argument to be made.

Jordan Farmar running deep in 2009 WSOP Main Event

laakPoker Listings: Jordan Farmar is three years into his career as a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers but he’s the ultimate rookie at the poker table.

Nonetheless, just weeks removed from winning an NBA championship with the Lakers, Farmar is finding success at the 2009 WSOP Main Event.

“I’ve never played online,” he said. “I played one day before I came here. The day before I flew out to Vegas I went to the casino in L.A. and played just so I knew what was going on at the table.”

“I got lucky early and now I’m starting to get the hang of it.”

Farmar is faring pretty well, considering there aren’t too many players in the field with the lack of experience he’s working with.

The Lakers guard has been a popular player in the Amazon Room, drawing lots of attention from the ESPN camera crew and entertaining everyone in the vicinity.

“I don’t know how to play!” said Farmar during a hand before the break, drawing laughs from everyone at the table.

Kupchak Talks Odom, Artest and Ariza

mitchHoopsworld: Business deals fall apart all the time.

For fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, it’s difficult to understand how quickly Trevor Ariza went from NBA Finals hero to an expatriate Houston Rocket.

Equally, there’s a palpable excitement surrounding Trevor’s replacement, former Defensive Player of the Year, Ron Artest.

The Lakers may eventually prove to be better than they were a year ago but until free agent Lamar Odom is re-signed, the franchise has taken a step backwards. LA just doesn’t have a proven big man behind Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum without the versatile Odom.

With teams like the Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic retooling to challenge the Lakers, keeping Lamar is General Manager Mitch Kupchak’s top priority.

With the Lakers and Odom’s representatives still far apart in talks, Kupchak can only profess to be “hopeful” that a compromise will be reached.
