Thoughts, reflections, and the odd rant on the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA (even the Clippers).

He is simply a camp invite, is NOT a guaranteed deal and very likely will not be on the roster come the start of the season. He is camp fodder.

Maybe not immediately but they will. Artest has undeniable skills but he's a nut job and sooner or later he'll show his true colors. Houston will have a problem. Maybe not immediately but they will.

Interesting. As for Artest playing the 4, I'd like to see him guard Odom or Gasol on the block. Please. So, Kings trade Artest for peanuts just as long as it isn’t to the Lakers. Interesting.

He was obviously a beast in college, but in the pros not as much. Like Kurt said, I'd really like to bring him into camp just to see if he sticks for the minimum as a back up big. The two things I always liked about him was his strength and his hands. He had great hands. I never saw him drop a ball and he never really got stripped on rebounds or fumbled passes. He seemed reasonably smart as well. I'm sure with time he's matured some too so why not take a camp flyer on a veteran type player that is obviously working to try and get back into the league?
