    Wow, I'm not sure what to think of this. I was not expecting anything of this magnitude. Definitely going to make our lineup interesting, and I'm glad the Lakers didn't get him.

    I just want to know what else we gave up. Brooks? Novak? I can live with that. Scola I'd have concerns with.

    Is this a 1 year rental or is Artest locked up beyond next year?

    The Kings just got jacked if its Green, BJ and a first for Artest. Petrie is too shrewd to do this deal and to a WC team also. I can't wait until 8/14.

    Actually, I'd find it hilarious if then they dealt Battier, Alston, Jackson for Iverson.

    Iverson-McGrady-Artest-Scola-Yao

    Crazy. :eek:

    We're going to win 60+ games next season.

    Hopefully Brooks can be a reliable point guard.

    Seriously if we have kept Yao, Tmac, Scola, Battier & Rafer and still picked up Artest then Morey is seriously a magician.

    The Rockets will become the best defense team ever.

    Is that why Greene's jersey was changed?Ron wanting #5. I don't think it will propel us to a Championship but I can understand why it's being done. I hope Scola is not part of this deal. I wish Greene would stay with us for the future,but Ron can bring more immediate help as well as trouble. Being with a veteran group can hopefully mitigate potential problems. Ron will also ask for a big deal in the future. If Artest could get us to the Finals,it will be worth it. I think management realizes how far away we really are from getting deep into the playoffs. I admire their courage but I'm not happy with this decision.
