It might be another Rodman-like situation in the offing for Lakers.. Ariza is a much better scavenger on the floor than Artest.

Yeah. I think they had a good deal here, unlike the trick they did when they acquire Iverson for Billups. Iverson is not a natural point guard. He splitted the minutes in the number 2 position with Rip. But the idea of having Iverson coming from the bench was not accepted by the latter.

Villanueva is a PF which the Pistons lacks, while Gordon suits best as a reliever for the aging Hamilton.
