With Trevor Ariza most likely going to the Rockets or the Cavs, the Lakers made a bold move and are about to sign Ron Artest for 3  years/$ 18 million dollars.

Shaq is now a Cav and promises to get the King A Ring.  We will see if Lebron gets one.

Unhappy to see Ariza go.  Artest is a great defender but what he comes with could be deadly.  Oh well.  Under Phil Jackson, Rodman bloomed into a flower with less trouble.  Maybe this could just work.-Dr.FB

To keep with the spirit of the day, as begun by Lady GaGa (see here), TMZ is reporting that Dennis Rodman had to be kicked out of the London Hotel in WeHo for allegedly (snort), grabbing and slapping female patrons on the behind. He also reportedly shouted obscenities and frightened small children. 

We are shocked, shocked to hear this.
