Odom back to Lakers

Yep dont be suprised if the Lakers roll right through the playoffs again next year with him back. Ariza was a loss but Artest is a nice addition. Will the addition of Shaq with Lebron be enough? Or..will a Rasheed Wallace addition to a healthy Celtics team be the one?

Very good!! It still remains to be seen how well Ron Artest can behave...

Yeah I know. It seemed that Kobe was the one he couldn't get along with. But now that they are on the same team that will probably change...maybe.

Getting Artest and letting Arvizu go was idiotic. Arizu may be just as good next year and is what 6 years younger?!?!

Depends if they are winnning or not.

Yeah Ariza is going to be good. He is already. Artest better not screw this up because this is the closest and best shot he is going to have at a championship.

Artest is better than Ariza at this point. Ariza is way younger and may end up being very good, but the Lakers got an upgrade at least for the next two years, and at a way cheaper price. Houston paid wayyyyy to much for Ariza.
