Ron Artest has told Ken Berger of CBSSports.com that he will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

"I'm definitely going to L.A. -- to sign, yeah," Artest said in a phone interview. "Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. I'm in L.A. right now."

Artest said he met with Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss Thursday and previously had spoken with Lakers coach Phil Jackson. He was en route to his financial manager's office, where he planned to huddle on the phone with his agent, David Bauman, to finalize details.

The parameters of the deal still need to be agreed upon, however.

"I don't really care about the money," Artest said. "I'll play there for nothing. ... L.A. was very interested in me, and they got me."

Looks like another Phil Jackson 3-peat may be in the NBA's future.

It sucks that Ariza is leaving, I hope he stays but if there's nothing that can change his mind, Ron Ron would be a great replacement.

I hope he goes into the stands in Detroit again and gets suspended for the entire season.

Yeah, probably 2 or 3 more. This is the final run for Kobe et al because Kobe, Lamar, Artest, Gasol will have too much NBA mileage after 3 more years.
