Ron Ron is definitely a better and more polished

player than Ariza for sure. Ariza is still developing. He has played good basketball on good team, that is it. He is injury prone IMHO.

The only thing I am concerned is Ron Ron's instability. If he is mature enough and doesn't disrupt locker room chemistry. That is a such a good steal.

Remember how melo is such as a mis-match to lakers, now it won't. Ron Artest is strong enough to defend Melo.

It is very interesting to see how lakers approach this. From business standpoint, it is very good case study.

Didn't David Lee who is TA's agent create the drama last summer when Elton Brand was in free agency? He is really overplaying this situation.

Well, we will hold our breath and wait for the final word.

Holy Cow! what a free agency steal if lakers nail Ron Artest!
