LA doesn't need another PF, they need a PG in the worst way. How about: Brooks Battier Hayes Jeffries for Bynum Artest Caracter or Ebanks (throw-in to balance roster)
he already was slow, he's even slower! He was already not a very good shooter and now he's even worse. Went 1-10 against the Kings two games ago!
No please. Artest would still fail to fill our biggest void, a defensive presence in the middle. At this point the void in the middle is still a bigger need then a defensive wing.
The guy would chuck the team out of contention night in and night out. Bynum is seriously worthless, I'd rather have Oden when it's all said and done.
i voted no, but the more i think about it...i say yes. like someone else said its not my money. hes interesting, would bring some toughness, at times can work well in the offense and can fire up some of the other guys on this team. it seems this team needs a spark lit under its ass and artest might help do that. only thing is we have no bad contracts to swap for him, defintely would not do it for scola or lowry, if i saw either of those 2 doin work for the lakers i would spontaneously combust.
Of course bring him back.. the best reason to bring him was probably not mentioned.. I still have his jersey :grin:
I voted "NO" & was surprised to see so many said "YES". Artest's on the down hill slope now, defensively as well as offensively. He shoots worse than he did with us. Oh, he makes an occasional clutch shot every now & then, but he'll still shoot you out of a game more time than not.
