Ron’s back in purple. Just like old times. In Sacramento.

lakeshowlife.com 7/3/2009 —

Just Add Fire
hardwoodparoxysm.com 7/3/2009 — I don’t know if you heard, but the Lakers won the championship. Yeah, they were pretty good. So naturally, they went out on the free agent market this summer (prior to re-upping two critical pieces in Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza, mind you) ...

lakersblog.latimes.com 7/8/2009 — The Lakers have worked quickly and decisively this summer to address their fairly limited to-do list, solidifying the small forward spot (re-signing Trevor Ariza became signing Ron Artest, but either way the position, as they say, has been filled), ...
Lamar for Amare - Would You Do it?
lakersoffire.com 7/8/2009 — The Lamar Odom contract negotiations are starting to drag on, which normally wouldn’t alarm me.

Rumors —
Orlando Magic Blog
Everything is a rumor until the league sets the salary cap in 5 days or so and players can actually sign. Lakers lose Ariza, get Ron Artest, still trying to resign Odom. Great short term upgrade for the Lakers if they sign Odom. Not very good if they lose Odom. Rockets lose Artest, gain Ariza, ...
