Trevor Ariza is a Laker playoff hero, which, paradoxically, is why he's apparently about to become an ex-Laker, Kevin Hench says.
Lakers fans, don't worry. Even though the unpredictable Ron Artest is set to join L.A., Kobe & Co. will keep him in line, Randy Hill says.
Kobe's 4th title gets him closer to Jordan's 6, but where does he stand in the best-ever discussion? Charley Rosen has an answer.
While it pales next to the 2010 class everyone's awaiting, this year's free-agent crop has some talent. Randy Hill lists the 10 best.

Mismanaged?
Drafting Darko. Trading for Iverson. And now quickly firing Michael Curry. Maybe Joe Dumars is Detroit's problem, Randy Hill says.
 
Yow, that hurts!
Yao Ming's foot injury is now considered "career-threatening." If so, the Rockets don't have a bright future either, Charley Rosen says.
 
Goodbye to you
Teammates in Detroit, Allen Iverson and Rasheed Wallace are free to go. Charley Rosen finds the right fit for the top free agents.
 
Never too early...
... to start looking at the 2010 draft. And with Derrick Favors and John Wall on the board, Jeff Goodman has a tough choice for No. 1.
 
He's a keeper
Maybe Rajon Rondo is difficult to coach. Maybe not. Either way, the Celtics would be crazy to trade him, Dan Shaughnessy says.
 
No joke
Get your yuks in while you can, because Blake Griffin is going to turn the Clippers into legit winners before long, Kevin Hench says.
 
Sneaky Spurs
Even without a first-round pick, the Spurs come out of the draft with the best haul. Check out our grades for every team.
 
Coming and going
By trading for Vince Carter, the Magic might hasten Hedo Turkoglu's departure. Randy Hill isn't sure that makes Orlando better.
 
Good for you?
The Clippers got a gem in Blake Griffin, but is he lucky to be a Clipper? Jeff Goodman has the NBA draft's winners and losers.
