PrintIt has been reported by ESPN the magazine's Chris Broussard that Houston F Ron Artest is set to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ron Artest confirmed this rumor in a text message to ESPN.com, he will reportedly receive an estimated $18 Million contract over three years, this after meeting with owner Jerry Buss and coach Phil Jackson.
This may now strongly rule out the possibility that Lakers free agent F Trevor Ariza will rejoin the team after reportedly being unsatisfied with the Lakers offer of the $5.6 million mid-level exception. Ariza is now speaking with other suitors including Cleveland as well as Houston.

Sucks to be a rockets fan
I really liked Artest and I know you LA ppl have your doubts about his hustle and chemistry, I assure you your perception will change.With a soft Yao and Tmac, Artest put the backbone in our team. His defense is outstanding, even if he is slower now. Artest is outgoing but he went and entire season without disrupting our team and im sure he can do the same for the Lakers organization.
