I'm sure a few people thought about this reading the news that Hedo Turkoglu, reportedly set to sign with the TrailBlazers, has yanked the rug out and will instead head to Canada and the Raptors, but it could have a negative effect on the Lakers. Losing Turkoglu once again leaves Portland about ...

At this point, it would be impossible for you to have reached this space without having heard the news: Ron Artest is a Laker. As you'd suspect, the news has folks all a' twitter (as opposed to a Twitter). Though there are legitimate things to wonder/worry about, being an optimistic sort by ...

BK and I decided to talk a little "Ron Ron to L.A." using the instant message platform the kids seem to love these days. Some point-counterpoint, but in a nutshell, we both can picture this working out well. However, it will require some adjustment on Ron Artest's part. This would be a copy of ...

UPDATE (5:00 pm)- ESPN.com's Chris Broussard reports the deal would be worth "an estimated $18 million" over three years, which is a perfect length from LA's standpoint. BK UPDATE (4:37 pm)- The LAT's Mike Bresnahan is also reporting the Lakers are close to a deal to bring in Artest. He writes ...

Stressed out over Trevor Ariza's contract negotiations (the latest chapter involving a visit with the Houston Rockets brass)? Well, relax with the latest edition of our 710 ESPN Lakers Podkast, which will totally take your mind off TA. Except, of course, for the section where we discuss the ...

In Vegas, no less, reports Mike Bresnahan of the LAT. Call it neutral territory. Like the Cavs, with whom Ariza was connected in yesterday's ESPN.com dispatch from Chris Broussard, the Rockets would only have mid-level money available to woo TA away from southern California. In other news, the ...

talks would send chills down the Laker Nation's collective spine. The report from ESPN's Chris Broussard certainly doesn't drip ...

The headline's second half is admittedly a stretch, but silent M opportunities just too much fun to let pass. Lakers.com's Mike Trudell is reporting that the team opted not to terminate the contracts of DJ Mbenga and Josh Powell by today's deadline, which guarantees both some cash for the ...

Over the past few seasons, we've been given periodic reminders from Team Artest, and here's one more. Ron Ron's agent David Bauman, quoted by Jeff Eisenberg at the PE.com, notes that his client and LA go together like peas and carrots: "Ron's tight with Kobe," Bauman said. "From a basketball ...
