Stunning NBA move

I hope he brings down LA like every other team he is on.

GO LAKERS!

Wow...thats spells trouble in the west...LA....5 ring Kobe....coming soon.

Kobe owes Artest a championship after that Elbow in the playoffs.

That hairdoo would fits fine in LA. He will brings some new flavor.

He needs to leave the shootings to Kobe.

WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD ARTEST!!!!
HATE THAT WE LOSE ARIZA, BUT DEFINITELY AN UPGRADE.
LET'S JUST RESIGN ODOM AND THE DYNASTY BEGINS!
LAKE SHOW BABY!

Awesome. The hated becomes the loved.

Good move!

WTF DONT LET GO OF ARIZA....CMON DUDE I DIDNT BELIEVE THIS STORY TILL I SAW IT....ARIZAS AWESOME...ARTEST IS A GREAT PLAYER TOO BUT W/O ARIZA LAKERS COULDNT WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Great movie Go Lakers.

LAKERS, WHO GIVES A CHIT ABOUT THEM AND ANY THING IN LA.

every thinks the cavs goin to get a ring but now the lakers bout to get a ring now so whats good now lakers kobe is goin to catch up with mj

Someone must have typed Artest's text. All words were spelled correct. He can't even speak without miss-spelling. We miss him in Indiana.

Man Artest in purple and gold?? WTF? I don't know about this. Him and Kobe don't seem to be the best of chums and the lakers pride themselves on chemistry.

O HELLLLLL YEA, ARTEST WIT KOBE AND DA LAKERS, I SEE A DYNASTY IN DA MAKING!

Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher starting 5!!!!????? I couldn't draft a better team on NBA 2k9.

What's so stunning about basketball. It's not even a real sport. Played INDOORS on a hardwood FLOOR? Panzies. See ya.

Will he be subject to SEC salary limits on pay? He should be. You know that NBA owners don't have the where withal to take care of their own financial dealings and need help from the Federal Government

I guess Artest said "If I can't beat them,join them".What a cowardly move by Artest.

I think its a great move. It will certainly get them better on defense. As long as Kobe and Artest can keep their egos in check.

Ohhhh please.....to all you Laker haters......STOP haten.....and start exceptin'....they are the champs!

Who cares where he goes, Just go anywhere. Git right along. We better start worying about wher this country is going. Seriously folks these are terrible times for everyone. If we stopped spending right now! it will take this country 20 years to clear the books wiith China.Why the help are we worryin g about where a basketball player is going to make his millions687w8r

serves the lakes and kobe right

good luck with artest kobe

I just want to see the Lakers kick some a** if this guy can help them do it great!!!

GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE. PHIL JACKSON CONTROLLED RODMAN, HE;LL DO IT WITH ARTEST. ARTEST IS HUNGRY FOR A TITLE AND WILL DO ANYTIHING TO GET IT, LAKERS NEED DEFENSE, ARTEST IS ONE OF THE BEST AT THAT, AND A PROLIFIC SCORER. IT WILL WORK OUT. KOBE IS THE TEAM LEADER, BUT SOMETIMES STRUGGLES AND ARTEST CAN BE THE SECOND OPTION IN SCORING. HE WILL KNOW HIS ROLE. GO LAKERS!!!

This guy is a class act. I put him up there with Barry Bonds, Michael Vick, and Terrel Owens. Team first all the way.

Why didn't they just let go of Odom and Sasha for Artest than Ariza???

MAN IS TOO BAD ARIZA IS GONE. HE KEPT THE LAKERS IN THE GAME. I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE THE TRADE. ARIZA IS THE REAL THING. NO SH@T.

HELL YEAH! GO GIT'EM LAKERS.

the nba is racist against white americans...hell there are more foreigners in the league than white americans..

while averge americans are losing their jobs, savings and homes, childish pro sports players with IQ's around 80 are granted million dollar contracts....what a joke..
