As for who I'd rather have? I love the young fire of Trevor. I'm indifferent about Artest. If signing Artest makes keeping Odom and Brown easier, then I go with Artest.

Yeah, I'll be honest and say I am going to miss Trevor, he was huge in games when we needed him, especially the finals. Artest is a better defender, but he's got some issues, and I am curious to see how well Phil will address those.
Seemed like his Agent thought he could get 8-10 mil a year for Trevor, but with the Lakers financial situation, that wasn't going to happen. The Mistake contracts to Sasha and Luke really does effect players who may well be worth the money.
