I sure wish I could get excited about this trade (Arisa for Artest) but I can't. I like Artest and he is a great player but I really have come to like Arisa as a player and a person. He seems to be a real nice guy and he has a nice 3 point shot.
The Lakers will miss him greatly.

Not a wise move at all in my opinion. Almost comparable to a bonehead Rams move.

That's a bummer, whether anyone else believes it or not, this will hurt the Lakers begin time in the upcoming season.

Oh well, business is business I suppose.

I just think when a guy wins a big game or two in the playoffs for your team you should keep that guy. Artest has some mighty big shoes to fill.
