Welcome to the rest of the NBA, I recall us playing "let's keep up with the Jones's" A couple of years back when we aquired Barkley, and then Pippen. And those worked out just freaking wonderful. The thing is, you don't have to have a team full of amazing talent to win in this league. You just have to have guys that play well as a team. SA has proven that along with the Kings this year. I'm all for trading to get better, but to trade just for the sake of it, I mean come on. And artest, while he is a good player he isn't what we need and he's a team cancer. We neeed some who can put the ball in the basket, and this year Cat has been damn near the only one on this team doing it with any consistancy. I also wouldn't mind seeing Artest's numbers against the west, my guess is they aren't any better than Cat's are.
