Artest is a well rounded player but he scares people cause of his defense. No one is scared that they have to matchup with him on the offensive end. Think about this, unless Cleveland can put five scorers on the floor the Lakers could put Kobe on their worst offensive player, put Artest on Lebron, and essentially double Lebron every time he drives with Kobe and Artest!
Oh, and for anyone who has doubted whether Phil will be back, this is the clincher, he will be back. This is just like the Rodman move with the Bulls. Bring in the crazy guy that is incredibly underrated as a player cause he's insane and then have everything work out and people act like Phil is some genius for making it happen.
Oh, and Bruce Bowen is useless on offense and defense at this point in his career.
