 Gortat and Ron Gone, Doubts on Ariza |
|

No need to get any longer contracts.
Scola may be the only guy I'd keep, and his contract is up next season
And the Rockets can go after a big name
I don't think there is any untouchable guy on the roster

In a possible free-agent swap of forwards, the Lakers are close to reaching an agreement with Houston Rockets forward Ron Artest and the Rockets have offered Trevor Ariza a contract, The Times has learned.
Artest has been meeting with Lakers executives throughout the day and is expected to agree to terms later this afternoon.
Artest will likely want the full mid-level exception from the Lakers, which will work out to five years and about $32 million. (The NBA will soon announce the actual cost of a mid-level contract for next season.)
Artest, who will be 30 in November, enjoys the Los Angeles lifestyle and was a presence in the courtside seats for some of the Lakers' games in the NBA Finals.
He is still a formidable defender and averaged 17.1 points last season, though he would have to take a pay cut from the $7.4 million he made last season because the Lakers don't have as much money at their disposal when it comes to other team's free agents.
The addition of Artest would basically end the Lakers' pursuit of Ariza, who met today with the Rockets and has been offered mid-level money, roughly the same amount the Lakers had offered. | ... [Read More]

Score one for the good guys, finally.
Antoni Hardonk, a heavyweight who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, had just finished a training session last month in Los Angeles near Los Angeles International Airport.
He was talking with his attorney, Nima Safapour, when three young men approached him. They asked if he had money so they could buy cigarettes.
"My feeling is I want to help someone if I can, so I pulled out my wallet," Hardonk said.
But he had no change or small bills, so he told the men, whom he estimated to be between 18 and 20 years old, that he couldn't help them.
That's when one of them pulled out a homemade knife, which he said had about a two-inch blade, and demanded his wallet. Hardonk, who is 6 feet 4 and around 250 pounds, was surprised.
But not only is he a professional figher, he was a security guard and a bouncer in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He didn't frighten or lose his composure.
"I said, 'What? Are you crazy? I'm not giving you my wallet,'" Hardonk said.
At that stage, one of the other men said, "He's serious. We'll hurt you if | ... [Read More]
