Yes he can be objective since he's supposed to be a member of the media and not show any allegiance to any of the local sports franchises (i.e. Vic 'the Brick' Jacobs) but this time he's just wrong. Ron Artest brings that toughness that's been lacking the Lakers for a few years now. I know they won the championship coz they got tougher...but only because they knew what was at stake. Artest can bring that toughness day in and day out...not because you 'have' to. He may come with some baggage but our leader and floor general KB24 is not gonna have any of that. He respects the hell out of Kobe and will accept his role wholeheartedly just like he did in Houston. He wouldn't have signed for chump change if he didn't already expect what was gonna be asked of him. Believe me when I say that days of Lakers glory are gonna continue on and there are gonna be hard fought battles...we have gladiators that can lay it all out on the floor and in the end we'll come out victorious once more. 2010-2013 NBA CHAMPS LOS ANGELES LAKERS!!!!

BP is another local hater that works in support of our opposition. The Lakers are champions in spite of him. The Lakers won before him, during, and will win after his career is all said and done. But BP will not be missed, taken seriously, or given any respect because he is a hater of the greatest team in the NBA. Until he gets his heart aligned with the LakerNation or leaves and supports the town he lives or writes for,he will never know why or is self deceived in believing his opinions and journalism mean anything. How can a local writer not have credibility writing for the NBA World Champion Los Angeles Lakers? Ariza was given a chance to continue and improve his game with the best team, coach, and organization in the NBA. Why would he think that he needed to go to Houston to find that? His agent is the epitome of what's wrong with sports today. Nobody in Houston is going to support him like they did in LA. He is officially the enemy when he agreed to sign with another team. Now it is our turn to impose our will on the league again. I just hope all the other teams including ours stay healthy because we are going to be an exciting team next year defending the title.

He wants the Lakers to fail and is putting himself into a position early on to be the one who can say "I told you so" if this blows up; it won't so don't worry. He references 2004 and says that next season will be a repeat of it, but what he fails to realize is that Kobe wont be going through a sexual assult trial, the Lakers are younger and more talented and the two "old" free agents were in their late 30s and early 40s...Artest is in his early 30s. Plus one of the guys we brought in (Karl Malone) messed up his knee in December of that year and was unable to do the job Los Angeles brought him in to do. The 2004 Lakers and the 2010 Lakers will be two opposing teams on opposite sides of the spectrum, starting with a championship and trinkling down from there. Artest will be for Kobe what Rodman was for MJ...Lakers 2010 Champs!!! This dude has no idea what he is talking about.

LA made Ariza feel like all his work went unnoticed and they didn't appreciate him but Ariza needs to realize that he was able to have the kind of effect on the game becuase Kobe and Pau made him better so he should have taken that MLE instead of playing hardball like he was Turk or someone. I am excited about Artest coming to LA. I think the fact that he took the MLE means that he wants to win and he will do anyting to accomplish that. He knows this is Kobe's team.

He talks about Artest wouldn’t change. Every man is capable of reinvent themselves. Ron got what he was wishing for - a great city, a championship team, a coach full of accomplishments, playing with his friend and he respects Kobe a lot and not to mention balling with his HS buddy, Lamar. I think no player would ruin his only opportunity to win a ship. I’m sure Ron would behave himself here because this is his dream team, this is what he wants and this is his destiny.
