    David Aldridge confirmed it by retweeting. Not surprising.

    Not sure if serious. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be good for chemistry since I don't think Harden would want him on the team.

    Kobe and Ron went at it also, and they didn't mind winning a championship together.

    I don't want Metta World Peace. But I would love to have Ron Artest back.

    sign him for the min. Let Harden and Howard take turns elbowing him in the head. Cut him.

    Do not want no piece of him. He will shoot 6 shots for you, 6 3-pointers. There will be no Peace with him shooting it.

    I'm not so sure either. I'm kind of on the fences, because if memory serves me right he was the reasons the Lakers won their very last championship.

    we won't be able to bid for him (i think). We'd have to wait for him to clear waivers and even then he would have to agree to the vet minimum.

    ...sounds like a great low-ish risk-high reward move to me

    Oh yeah no doubt, but I mean like he hit a late game 3 to help put it away.
