Lakers get even better, and the Rockets continue to stockpile young talent

Ron Artest signs with the Lakers, and Trevor Ariza signs with the Rockets. Any team can forget beating out the Lakers for the NBA championship for the next three years or so. Sorry Lebron, Shaq ain't gonna help you get by the Lakers, no way, no how. I'm kind of torn that we lost Artest, but I can see Rocket GM Darryl Morey's thinking here, and he is a mad genius. No guarantee Yao or T-Mac play next year, and this whole situation leads me to believe that he may make a big-time run at Lebron James after next year. Hopefully by that time Yao will be fully recovered and T-Mac will be gone. The Rockets have a ton of young talent, but they will struggle to make the playoffs next year without Yao.

Morey's playing for next year's free agent market, you can bet on it.

Peace

The Knicks are betting the next ten years on trying to sign Lebron, and something tells me he's not going to end up there and the Knicks will continue to flounder. Their core talent isn't that good.

And yes, I know you were joking, and if you weren't, you should be banned from BTS for not joking.

I am not sure signing Artest will make much of a difference. He is like Terrell Owens, he just can't stay in one team lol.

And, looking at last seasons stats, if Shaq stays healthy, the Cavaliers are going to the finals. It is guaranteed. LeBron is just getting better and better each year.

If Kevin Garnett, Eddie House, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo had not fallen to inuries at the end of the season, the NBA Championship would still go thru Boston.

James may be good, but one man does not make a team.

I don't care who wins, as long as it isn't the OKC Thieves... Do ya think a team can go 0-82? Sweet if ever happened...
