Comments on: Lakers Sign Artest, Lose Ariza: Fan Reaction http://lakeshowlife.com/2009/07/09/lakers-sign-artest-lose-ariza-fan-reaction/ A Los Angeles Lakers Blog Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:30:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Terry Wilson http://lakeshowlife.com/2009/07/09/lakers-sign-artest-lose-ariza-fan-reaction/comment-page-1/#comment-603 Terry Wilson Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:50:35 +0000 http://lakeshowlife.com/?p=1553#comment-603 I do think Ariza jumped too soon and was impatient. Here, with the Lakers, the greater rewards would eventually come, with or without titles. And, with mentors like Kobe (who is THE BEST) and possibly Artest, his game would increase faster, marketing potential fuller. Sorry to see him go anyway. Ron Artest, to his credit, has wanted to be a Laker for some time and the cat can really play! I wish both teams well, especially the Lakers. But it still bugs me to lose Ariza. Maybe, like Fisher, he may return someday. I do think Ariza jumped too soon and was impatient. Here, with the Lakers, the greater rewards would eventually come, with or without titles.

They low balled him and whoever cant see that is insane...thats why kobe didnt renegotiate. He knew they were going to do this, l.O said hed take less money for the team to stay the same...he stillisnt signed...Whats that say about this Laker team. Im pissed off that they would do this. They should have traded to get ArMess instead of low balling Ariza during free agency what about the lakers telling Ariza to see what was out there and they would counter and when he did Jerry BusT was already having dinner with Artest.
