NBA 09-10 Thread
The offseason has begun and the Lakers quickly swap Trevor Ariza for Ron Artest. I am sad to see Trevor go, especially considering his contributions down the stretch. However, you can't turn down Ron Artest when he wants to play for you for cheap. He's no longer about getting paid - he wants to win. He has mellowed out over the years and he is a vicious competitor. Adding Artest over Ariza gives the Lakers better scoring, better man-to-man defense and a bigger body. Artest might not be as athletic or sneaky as Ariza, but he is also more consistent and experienced.
