Consensus here in Vegas is that Ron Artest is worth NO MORE than one point per game.

For example, if the Lakers were 5-point favorites with Artest, they would be no less than 4-point favorites without him.

My guess is many will likely be surprised he is worth so little in the eyes of Vegas.

What do you think he's worth?

He's still an above average defender, but team is better offensively without him. So overall they are 1 pt better without him in the line up.

According to celebritynetworth.com, $23MM. But, it would make me lean "over" in the Sacramento game, so I agree w/Elijah83.

Of any big win we have had, or winning streak, or even coming out of a losing streak, of this I am most proud:

Some forum posters have broken into the industry and have achieved moderate success while carrying themselves with professionalism and integrity. Dave Essler, of the pick-selling site Pregame, immediately comes to mind.

He is an idiot and thug..plain and simple.  He has been a brat, spoiled one, and a court bully his entire career and every year has an incident that is a huge distraction to his team....LA would be better off trading him away for another forward.  The only thing he provides is defense, but as mentioned above, it comes with a price....

No question the guy has made some simply idiotic decisions at times. But, got to say I met him at the Grove in LA last august and he could not have been a nicer and polite guy. But of course demeanor's change once you step on the court. Yesterday was just plain stupid.
