"It's my fault if Lakers don't win the title..."

Too true Quag. I reckon Jefferson will be pretty good for the Spurs this year though. Should be a good fit for them and help Ginobili stay healthy.

Haha anonymous, you can dream. Wallace will fit right in and is just about as good an insurance policy as you could ask for should KG break down again. Yeh the Celtics lost to the Lakers in the last regular season, but they did not play well in the first one and went down by a point in OT in the other.

Will be awesome to see the Celtics and Lakers go at it again this season with the roster changes, but I think the Celtics have improved much more than the Lakers have this off-season.

Yeah, easy for him to think that way and a good sound byte to give the media. But there are a lot of bigger factors out there affecting who wins the title than how well Ron-Ron plays. How about one of these:
- Kobe or Gasol gets injured
- KG is back to his 2008 self
- The Spurs stay healthy
- Bynum stays healthy and becomes an allstar
- Vinsanity meshes with Orlando
- Shaq gives the Cavs that second offensive option without being too much of a defensive liability
- Oden starts performing like the #1 pick

So there are a lot more important factors in the Lakers winning another title than Artest replacing Ariza. I just hope he really believes what he is saying and puts unnecessary pressure on himself!

As a Boston fan, I love that the guy who snapped in Detroit and destroyed a good Indiana team is heaping the pressure on himself to perform. I love even more that he is so egocentrical as to think another title really comes down to him - the 5th best player on the Lakers! Good work Ron, keep jacking up those bad shots next season in the mistaken delusion that your team needs you to put them on your back!
