"In a text message to ESPN.com on Thursday night, Artest wrote: "I am happy to say I am goin' to L.A." ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reports that Artest and the Lakers have reached a verbal agreement on what is believed to be a three-year contract worth an estimated $18 million. Wednesday is the first day free agents are permitted to sign new deals."

The brawl, the trade demands and holdout, he plays good, hard D but he has a target on his back. He's a marked man in the eyes of officials. And I just think he's a liability. I'll think that until he proves me wrong but the Western Conference Semis furthered that. He got ejected two games in a row and even if he didn't deserve the second ejection, like I said, he's a marked man. He's a Sprewell. Exciting to watch b/c you know any minute he's gonna choke someone out.
