Nobody wanna lose Ron Artest and Battier,let them all stay in Houston

ehh..

Artest will be gone sooner or later anyways.
I'd actually still trade him for a better PG in a heartbeat.

The point guard would actual be beneficial to Yao..

 

artest doesn't fit here they way he did in sac.
battier IMO is overrated.

 

Artest really hasn't shown the ability to be a consistent lockdown defender that he is advertised to be. His days of winning Defensive Player of the Year are long gone. Maybe it has to do with his ankle, but that doesn't change the fact that he gambles for steals too often leaving the front line vulnerable. Plus he can't shoot!!! If the right PG becomes available I think its a no brainer to let him go, especially if we're not going to be able to count on T-Mac.

As for Battier, I agree, I want him to stay. His value can't be measured on statistics alone.

 

Nope you gotta keep Ron. With Mcgrady doing the Mcgrady...you just gotta keep Ron.

 

Ron has performed like a star on both ends of the floor in his last several games. I don't know how you can say he can't shoot- just look at his career shooting percentages, and last year's. Now that he's recovering from his ankle injury he's shooting what he's always shot.

 

battier has 2 go

 

Battier needs to go so we can find a more young, long, athletic and rebounding 3 that can help on the boards when Yao is out.

I love Artest and you will all see in the playoffs how CLUTCH he really is.

No he hasn't..

Don't be delusional

He's pulling his best Rafer "let's be as streaky as possible" Alston impression

 

Just because we won against the worst team in the NBA doesn't mean the lineup we had is the best. Artest still needs to go somewhere else, even Battier. T-Mac + Battier + Artest + Alston.. you can get an entirely new look by trading them.

 

A new look perhaps but we are not going to get much value for them.

 

I'm sure you can get someone valuable who can work with Yao and be a leader for this team. Someone Roy like.

 

but remember without a PG, we gonna waste Yao, Artest, TMAC, Battier and everyone for another year. we will win nothing without a legit PG.

Rafer is not enough. If Battier or Artest can get us a PG, do it.

 

Also Chuck Hayes.

 

Deron Williams, Bibby, Sessions, Nash, Calderon, or perhaps even TJ Ford, I don't know.

 

Ron Artest is on The Carmichael Dave Show right now at http://www.khtk.com

we'll post the podcast on khtk.com tomorrow if you can't stay up.

I won't cry any tears if they're gone next season. Shane's contract is going to be a beast to move, though. It extends past that magical 2010 free agent bonanza, which so many desperate general managers seem to be staking their jobs on.

 

A true leader with talent to boot is the hardest thing to obtain. Roy is not the best player in the league,but he is virtually untouchable on that ballclub.

 

2 great Centers?

Yeah right
