RON ARTEST WANTS TRADE OUT OF L.A.

[Grapes Of Wrath]

Ron Artest wants to be traded from the Los Angeles Lakers, a source told ESPN.com. Artest’s agent, David Bauman, declined to comment.
One reason Artest wants out is that he is “weary of being scapegoated” for the team failing to play to expectations, according to the website. He feels the organization is reluctant to place blame on players such as Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher.

While Artest has also admitted that he has trouble grasping Phil Jackson’s triangle offense, he’s not happy about being “marginalized” in the system.
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak said earlier this week that the team will consider making a trade before the Feb. 24 deadline. But it won’t be easy to find a taker for the 31-year-old Artest, who has three years and $21.8 million left on his contract and is having what many consider his worst season as a pro.

lol we destroyed the Queens franchise during the 02 playoffs and those chumps have never been able to recover. Lol @ a franchise that retired vlade divac's jersey. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Hhahahahahahaha

Boston raped them of all their confidence

LOL @ YOU! Lakers maybe have too much confidence leading them to not be putting the work that needs to be put into this season to get another 3-peat. I think i read a report that in the last month kobe has practiced 3 times. Gasol only practices half the time.

Also the only reason artest is talking trade is becuase he knows his name has been tossed around all season when it comes to laker trade talk. I heard earlier in the season a rumor about Artest, FIsher, and someone else maybe odom for Steve Nash.

[Irishmutt]

why would they want Ariza again? lol
