New Lakers/Artest information from SacBee blog

Published by Chris Manning on July 16, 2008 in 2008 Off-Season.

The latest regarding the Lakers and Artest:

SacBee: As far as the continuing frontrunners in the Artest sweepstakes, I’ve been told by a source close to the Lakers that there are no ongoing discussions. The next relevant date remains Friday, when the Lakers’ deadline to match Ronny Turiaf’s offer sheet passes. It’s at that point the Lakers may decide to take on Kenny Thomas to fill Turiaf’s old role or quite possibly engage a third team in the deal so as to avoid his contract. As for whether the Lakers have offered Lamar Odom, that hasn’t officially happened but I’m told he is absolutely available.

Odom for Artest is good for both teams…Sac can rebuild, and we get the warrior to go with our warrior…it’s win win for both teams…

Lakers need to lock down Artest, show him he’s wanted and Jackson need’s to begin to mold him…

LOL, now this dude says that the Lakers haven’t officially offered Odom.

Sam Amick goes on my list of BS writers.

If we keep LO and get Artest, one of these guys are coming off the bench. Will they accept that role in a competitive conference in a championship team?

i think LO will, but anyway i dont see getting artest w/o giving up LO, i want to keep LO, but i also think that artest along with bynum´s return, is the missing piece to our championship puzzle…

i would like for the Lakers to acquire Andre Iguadola but im guessing we would have to dump our trash (Luke Walton, Mihm, Vlady) to be able to afford him and its really going to be hard to get rid of those guy’s!!!
