I'm not so sure though, I would not want Artest on my team...I think the Lakers should focus on trying to acquire J-O instead of a headcase like Artest

Difference is... Artest we can get for cheap, because of his headcase problems. JO it sounds like we're giving up an awful lot for a injury proned player, plus I don't like the idea... of getting rid of Odom for JO.

Maddocks

i rather have artest and grant hill then JO for the price we would need to pay.

im not a big odom fan, but he can play when he puts his mind to it.

I dont think we'll get artest unless we beef up our offer

supposedly the heat might offer

#20 pick + Haslem + filler

the Rocket might offer

Snyder + Sura + #26 pick + filler

Highly doubt the Kings would want Cook + Sasha + #19 pick + fillers

Thats pretty good. If Udon is available, I say we go for him too.


Cook for Haslem, straight up. Gowdammit just do it Mitch!

Why would the Kings want Haslem? He is not going to help them make the playoffs. They want an expiring contract and a draft pick. Adding a young talent wouldn't hurt.

Kwame, #19 is a better offer than Haslem, #20. But I think the Heat offer would be Jwill and #20 for Ron. That might entice the Kings more.

I was listening to am570 radio..and it appears Artest has requested to be traded to Miami. That is the only place he wants to go right now. If the lakers really wanted artest, we should have made a deal for him 6 months ago.

Maddocks

artest to miami....never!

koberules24

Good let him go there. Then maybe he'll actually start to appreciate everything that Kobe did for him.

Kwame and the #19 pick isn't better then Haslem and the #20 pick. Haslem > Kwame by quite a bit.

L.A Guy

I totally agree..anybody whose seen both of these guys play would be insane to pick kwame over haslem. Plus the draft picks are the same 19 and 20.

elcap15

But Kwame's contract is expiring. I have no idea how long Haslem is under contract.

Eternal

If you want to look at it that way, sure, but your getting a solid player in Haslem. Either way I guess you can't go wrong. The problem is, the Lakers need to go over the top on a trade for Artest, since he is in the same division and the Kings hate the Lakers. I really don't think it would be worth going after Artest, since the Kings will be wanting alot from the Lakers.
