True, but the cap number is the same. They offered the same deal.

That's exactly what he was worth but he wanted more from the Lakers. I don't blame them for not fooling around and risking missing out on Artest AND Ariza. I wanted them to keep Ariza too but they did what they had to do.
Not that Vlade too can't mess up, but I'd trust him to not fukk over Sactown and the Kings more than a George fukking Karl.

Once Mitch found out that Artest wanted to be a Laker he ended negotiations with Ariza and signed Artest. Mitch thought Artest he was signing the better player.

True but it seems apparent he would've signed it if they made an offer. I think the Lakers were just stalling on him just to find out if they could close Artest or not. If they didn't then they would've thrown a formal offer to them.
if the lakers are offering the #2 and randle, the kings need to take that deal yesterday
Mitch loves Randle's potential. He won't trade him. The best they can do is #2 and and other picks.
Could be. We'll never know the whole story.
Some of the Ariza love is revisionist history too because he was bad the first four years (and three teams) of that deal. Only his last year in Washington once Wall came back did he look like a great role player again.

Either way, this is an embarrassing tenure for Karl.

Karl pulled a fast one period
Somebody told me Julius Randle has no trade value in the draft thread
Can you link me to the draft thread..I can't see it for some reason
