Stephen A. is going to give some analysis on the trade on Sportscenter soon...Cant wait to hear this one...
Not really, Artest ceiling is so much higher than Battier's that this trade was about winning now, and let's face it, we have two superstars who can't stay healthy all the time since they have to carry so much of the load, he will help them out NOW. That's what we need, our window is closing, the TIME IS NOW!!!!
An actual SPLASH! This is the type of move that had to be made. This will energize the whole team. TMac will come alive, he is coasting for the most part. Ming will come back strong, everyone will play even harder BECAUSE they know they can really contend and not just pretend to contend. Major upgrade. Finally, the "little kid" fan in me is really excited. Wow.
Look for Artest at Pro City. He played last year and it might be a safe bet to see him there again after tonight's news.
That sucks major balls that we have to give up this years 1st round choice and next years 1st round selection. I really think Donte is gonna become a great player but Artest is already that and we need that NOW!
With Dorsey and Artest......just can't wait for a brawl in Toyota Center!!! I'm going to get the season ticket for that!
I just put money into my bodog account and as soon as it became available bodog closed futures betting for basketball. Any other place we can get 15-1 odds on the Rockets to win it all?
That's exactly the way i feel, never been so excited about the Rockets, since the Hakeem days. These are good times. Both the teams I follow have made major moves to become contenders. I can finally say that this might happen: Houston Rockets Vs. Toronto Raptors Final....damn that would be amazing.
battier is a good defender, but ron artest gets down and dirty and does the dirty defense that we need and he is relentless, with a combo of him and battier could be trouble for anyones star player
OK so Clutch has been mum about the Artest trade so far and he hasnt merged the Iverson trade thread yet. I hope he's preparing a front page with both AI and Ron Artest coming to Houston. PG: Allen Iverson SG: Tracy McGrady SF: Ron Artest PF: Luis Scola CN: Yao Ming 6: Brent Barry 7: Carl Landry 8: Joey Dorsey 9: Aaron Brooks 10: Mike Harris I doubt we use the entire MLE on Carl Landry the way things are going, we could have a little bit of cash left to sign on some Championship hungry veterans.
