You continue to astound me, sir. I'll not elaborate on the details.

However, its more of a question on how much of an impact did Kobe, Odom, Pau have on him. Since all the pressure was on all the other guys. I remember him being streaky shooter with alot of skill. I think that Artest is a better player for us in the playoffs, but during the season, Ariza will be better.
Well since we lost artest, at least we got something in return for the midlevel acception. Lakers had to give up odom or Ariza. And i agree with their decision, Odom is a more accomplished player than Ariza.
Ariza improved leaps and bounds from his knick and orlando days.. He proved himself to be a legit backup and starter. So i dont get how people can compare him to those days. There's something called improvement. He'll be good for us.. He was lakers 2nd most athletic player.. Behind Kobe. Lakers are going to miss his cuts to the basket. But they can cope since they' have a deep bench.
It's good to mostly agree with you for once
