    Ron was already my favorite player even before we got him so I've gotta get one. How long do they usually take to become available? And what are the chances they'll make a retro, championship colors artest jersey?

    you might have to wait until the trade is at least finalized on the 14th.

    You can probably just custom order one online from the NBA Store. Of course, it would help to know which number he'll choose.

    This thread just reminded me that Dave2000 already bought a Donte Greene jersey.

    Limited edition that would be worth a lot once Donta becomes the next Orlando TMac

    Haha, Greene was on one of the sacramento raido shows last night or whatever, and when asked who he thinks he most resembles, he said Rashard Lewis.

    You can't. I've tried to order a #93 Artest Rockets jersey before. Apparently you can't order a jersey with a name that is in the NBA but not on the particular team. Say, if your last name is Williams and you're a Rockets fan and you want a Rockets jersey with your name on it, you're out of luck because of all the other Williams' in the league. Needless to say, it sucks.

    That's just wrong. But you can get a blank rockets jersey on like ebay for example and just get some of the letters and numbers from other jerseys.

    this would take a long time but it could be done.

    I bought a Kings Artest jersey a couple days ago. Its a swingman but oh well, it still looks pretty sweet.

    How is Donte's mood nowadays? Upbeat or still in shock?

    He talked so much about Rockets being his favorite team that I thought he would be disappointed being traded so soon.

    On the other hand, as a member of the young Kings team, Donte would have an easier time finding minutes than he would with the Rockets. He's going to a good situation with Theus as coach and a solid core of Udrih, Salmons, Martin, Garcia and Miller (if he isn't traded).

    Don't worry about Donte, i dont think he should care that much. He isnt from Houston and he's gonna have the potential to get a lot more money in Sacramento with their cap situation. He should be happy.

    They didnt really of course talk about the trade or his mood because the trade hasnt been finalized yet so they cant talk, but he kinda did say what you said, he thinks he'll be a good fit over there because they got young guys like him and said of course when all players get traded "I just want to try and help this(Sacramento) team win"

    Cant you just go to that shop in Toyota Center where they make the custom jerseys on the spot? I doubt the workers there will really care what you put on the back.

    that was me who did and I got a picture taken with him in the jersey...I probably should have had him sign it now in retrospect it could have been worth something to a collector down the line if he panned out as a player.

    oh well I lost some money but if someone told me hey, would you be willing to lose 45 dollars so Ron Artest could be on the rockets without trading anyone in the starting 5 I would have said of course.

    It may take some time. The deal ain't official yet and you still gotta wait some time after that.
