Will Ron Artest make the Lakers a better team? Will the chemistry of the team remain the same? Will the Lakers be able to control Artest? These are a few questions I am sure some Laker fans have. That is okay because it is reasonable. A team win a title and everyone think changing the team is bad. Is it really bad?

  1. Artest and Ariza are basically the same player? Not really. Ariza is younger they both play defense and can knock down a jumper, however, Artest can create his own shot and shot for others off of plays or broken plays.
  2. Artest is a mad man? Artest may be crazy or different but he brings that toughness the Lakers have lacked.
  3. Artest will be a cancer? No…he is a strong tough guy but he wants to win a title and that is a driving force for him now. Besides that he never TO’ed a team or Spreewell’ed a coach.
  4. Lakers don’t care about winning? They are bringing back most of the roster and most important Phil Jackson. Say what you say but if the Lakers would have kept the same team then it would have been hard to see a repeat because of what other teams have been doing this off-season.

Kobe and Ron that is going to take some time saying.

  1. YEah, it’s definately a heated debate between the Laker haters and the Laker fans. I don’t think Artest will work out, but you can see our debated on this topic on out site http://doin-work.com
