2	I like Trevor Ariza also, and in my opinion, he is definitely a good ball player. A little more money would have kept him in LA!

0	He added a great deal to last seasons championship win. He was dependable in a pinch. I do not see the point in getting rid of (a secret weapon) the quiet person in the background who can contribute when the going gets tough.

We didn't need that attitude in the locker room and on the court. What attitude, MONEY. But, we got a better player....Ron Artest is much a better player

Ron Artest may be a better player. But on the court and off-court attitudes on whose the leader for the lakers. I think if Ron stays with the lakers, he must understand that Kobe is the leader and motivator for the team. This one team
