Artest to Lakers?

[.GR]

Fannation

Kobe Bryant loves the idea of teaming with Ron Artest and the Lakers have already privately considered taking a turn in the Ron-Ron funhouse. It only gets interesting if the Lakers are anxious enough that they'll also take back a bad contract: Artest and Kenny Thomas for Lamar Odom, with minor cap-related tweaking of additional bodies. There's nothing that says they're anxious enough to inherit Thomas and $17.3 million the next two seasons, although L.A. will have to make a major financial decision on Odom at some point. He becomes a free agent after next season and will want big bucks to stay.

Im no fan of Odom, but if someones willing to take K9's contract, Im all for it. DEAL!
