defensive threat to other teams provided that he is coachable regarding
his overly aggress defensive posture (which by the way may be a good thing)
The only issue with Artest seems to be his previous behaviour
what at this point will be muted even more by virtue of team
dynamics and coaching.

I don't think either of us were speaking about their games, rather their attitude and the control issue. Obviously Artest brings both offense/defense to the table. But again, I could see a chemistry issue with the team if Artest doesn't learn his role. There were many times during his tenure with Houston where he would shoot constantly while taking bad shots and when he was not shooting well. But as long as he sticks to his role and doesnt create any issues on/off the court, the Lakers are going to be hard to beat...
