Yahoo sports said rooon atest going to be traded for lamar odom?

Question

he's the same age of lamar so he's worth it plus he is a really strong guy 6'7 250 pounds 45 more pounds than kobe. he is a great scorer. he may not get as much rebounds as odom but is a really good defender. the lakers if it is possible to get him they are going to be unstoppable. imagine fisher/farmar,kobe,artest,gasol,bynum great lineup after all huh. but the problem is the lakers also need a point guard fisher is too old and farmar may not develop in many years. they needed agent zero more than they needed artest but i'm still happy

Answer 1

They will never get Agent Zero. Wizards will always sign him whatever the price. Ron Artest is a great player but already hit his thirties. Lamar is 27 still and has a lot more time. Bynum is coming back soon and they shouldn't take any chances any way. Artest would ruin their chemistry anyway.

Answer 2

I just love how you added the part where you said Artest is 45 pounds more than Kobe...

Congrats Artest. You are officially a fatty.

Answer 3

Well if it's true then the Lakers defense will obviously improve.

If Bynum stays healthy all year then the Lakers won't miss the rebounding that Odom gets.

Unfortunately the Lakers will be missing out on is the playmaking ability of Lamar.

When Kobe sits, Lamar runs the offense.

It worked so well that the Lakers won the West...easily in the playoffs. The Celtic defense clearly messed with the whole team, not just Lamar.

Also, Ron Artests head could be anywhere through out the season. He started a brawl in Indiana, wanted to take a year off of basketball to promote a R&B band (which should tell you that his head isn't in the game 100%) and constantly can't make up his mind if he wants to be traded or not.

There is too many question with Artest.

In addition to Artests defense he is a tougher player, in the sense of Rick Fox or a Posey.

Giving a extra shot after the whistle has blown.

Something that got under Lamars skin during the Celtic/Laker series when J. Posey did it routinely

With Lamar, you know his head is in the game.

He can run the offense and overall there is only 1 question.

How many boards and points are you going to get tonight?

Ok maybe 3, how many assists too?

It could work out though, maybe Ron A.s ego won't get in the way with Kobe's. We all know that Lamar didn't have an ego and I think that's why Lamar is a better fit for the Lakers.

Answer 4

lol it's funny how u put the extra 45 pounds in there ha ha classic.

But anyway i agree with u in the last 3 sentences they didn't need him, i think they need a better point guard also, i totally agree with what u said about the age difference and experience between farmar and fisher i 100% agree. But i don't think they needed the trade, also.
