    Artest is my fantasy Rocket man-crush. He's the perfect fit for Tmac and Yao. I'd trade anyone else, cash, picks, whatever to get him, the sooner the better. What else do we have anyway?

    There is more good than bad with Artest. There's a mental problem, but he is coachable, unlike say, Ricky Davis. I'd never want him. Artest, on the other hand, could play perfectly off our superstars.

    I'm a risk-taker, and I'm looking for the big reward. I feel very frustrated with the likes of Howard, Taylor, JJ, Lue, Ward. I'm happier with tryhard no-talents like Padgett and Bowen or Chucky Brown. I'd like some guys that can really battle like Artest.

    Id say thats somewhere between a premium and below average, but definitely not pennies on the dollars. JJ and Howard, like them or not, are both good quality NBA starters.

    IMO, pennies on the dollar would mean, giving Indiana an end of the rotation player and a conditional 1st rounder. Premium would be giving them your best player (like a Peja).

    I tell ya...Larry Bird might just be kicking himself if he had a Peja for Artest swap on the table before Friday night.

    Well, in THAT case, I wouldn't be opposed to giving Artest a shot. But, by end of the rotation player, would you be talking about Padget/Bowen? Or even less, like Charlie Ward/Bowen?

    I am so off the Artest, who is so off is worth it bandwagon.
