Lakers Waste No Time In Signing Ron Artest

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent forward Ron Artest, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.

Artest, a 6'7" 260-pound forward out of St. John's University, has averaged 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.06 steals in 604 career games (562 starts) during his 10 NBA seasons with Chicago, Indiana, Sacramento and Houston. Originally selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 16th overall pick in the 1999 NBA draft, Artest is one of only three players in NBA history to post career averages of 16+ points, 5+ rebounds, 3+ assists and 2+ steals (Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler).

The 2004 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Artest has been named NBA All-Defensive First Team twice (2004, 2006) and Second Team twice (2003, 2009). A member of the 2004 Eastern Conference All-Star team, Artest also earned All-NBA Third Team honors in 2004 and has finished among the top three league leaders in steals five of the last eight seasons while leading his team in steals in nine of his 10 NBA seasons overall.

In 2008-09, Artest averaged 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.52 steals in 69 games (55 starts) with Houston while setting single-season career-highs in 3-point field goals made and attempted (.399, 153-383 3FG) and leading the Rockets in steals (105).

Lakers sign Artest, Brown

Ron Artest and Shannon Brown both officially signed with the Los Angeles Lakers after the moratorium was lifted on Wednesday.

Artest played with the Rockets last season but decided to join the champions. He brings career averages of 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 10 seasons.

He adds some defensive intensity as well, having earned the 2004 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Last season, he averaged 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists for a short-handed Rockets team that lost to the Lakers in the playoffs.

The Lakers acquired Brown in February as part of a trade with the Charlotte Bobcats. He played in 18 regular season games for the Lakers and averaged 3.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.6 minutes.

Brown appeared in 21 playoff games during the Lakers' run to the NBA title, averaging 4.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 13.1 minutes.

The 6-foot-4 Brown was originally selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 25th overall pick in the 2006 draft.

The move leaves Lamar Odom as the Lakers' only remaining unrestricted free agent.
