In what may be worse news that the “new guy” leaving L.A. for Houston, the Lakers are now tossing around the idea of parting ways with Metta World Peace, aka the Artist Formerly Known As Ron Artest.
And when I say tossing around I mean, it’s probably going to happen. That is if Kobe doesn’t storm into Jim Buss’ office and start throwing chairs.
This officially ruins my summer. The Lakers are regularly a five alarm dumpster fire mess of drama but Ron can always turn the tide of negativity with a crazy comment or a bizarre interview. Now that locker room is going to look like Debbie Downer for a year. Sadly, I don’t think signing Captain Caveman is going to help.
What hurts the most is that I never thought the Lakers would be the team to shave salary just for the sake of shaving salary. Lottery taxes shouldn’t be a concern when FOX Sports is having a drunken Rick Fox wheelbarrow money over in a sombrero each week for TV rights. Sure, keeping cap space for the free agent space race of 2014 is smart but Artest’s salary would have come off the books after this season. So what’s up with the penny pinching?
Please whole foods!!! Put them juicy oranges on sale!!! Pleeasssseeee!!!!

At least Ron isn’t taking it to heart. He’s too busy worrying about Whole Food and their delicious oranges. Say Queensbridge!
