Awesome move. is it risky? hell yes! but the payoff could be huge and quite frankly this team needs a bit of edgy energy and intensity.
espn says "NBA front-office sources confirmed to ESPN.com that Artest will be dealt to the Rockets in exchange for Houston's first-round draft pick in 2009, ex-King Bobby Jackson (who arrives with a $6.1 million expiring contract) and the draft rights to Donte Greene. The Kings will also receive more than $1 million in cash, according to The Houston Chronicle, but the deal can't be announced before Aug. 14 because Greene is not eligible to be traded before then." looks like its definitely donte green
YES!! One of those trades you hoped for but thought it was too far out to come true. Always quietly wondering to myself why the other contenders seemed to pull off the major trade with seemingly minor losses to the team, and why we couldn't get it done. But Morey has this knack for 1 upping every chance he gets to improve the team. 2007--Scola - Landry - Francis(patience, people, patience) - Mutombo - Jackson - Brooks 2008 -- Green, Barry and now Artest, and I would bet he is not done this year Amazing - this year will be pretty exciting to say the least. Here's to "good health"
Quick someone make some more Artest trade threads. There's not quite enough to fill up the whole 1st page yet.
one negative I see is trying to resign Artest at the end of this season... any1 else worried about this? I know its some time away, but you always have to have your future secured.
Who's the 3rd best offensive player? Yeah, the Kings connections reminds me of JVG and the Knicks associations
Good thing I have CF BBS as my homepage otherwise I would of not known the news. Morey has done it again. Wonder whats Artest's reaction to this.
First off it's you're buddy....secondly, no I'm NOT joking! Artest McGrady (insert stud PG) Yao Scola Battier, Barry, Landry and Dorsey in heavy rotation. Not too many teams will be able to stop that!
