    For all those who said Artest isn't walking through the door...he pretty much is. Even for just 1 season this deal is awesome.

    Artest = serious championship contender.

    NOW the Rockets have a real chance.

    Morey's best move so far.

    He stole Scola, and now Artest....can he go to the Basketball Hall of Fame as a GM?

    The best part about Artest is the MID RANGE GAME
    that is where Adelman's offense is

    RE: No Crazies, Please

    Yes, we also agree. No hotheads, no crazies, no one who dares to stand up to Michael Jordan, no one who has the *alls to take the game-winning 3s, no one who is the ticking time-bomb. We refuse to believe that we need this in order to win a championship.

    Sincerely,

    Hakeem Olajuwon

    Otis Thorpe
    Robert Horry
    Mario Elie
    Sam Cassell

    exactly my thoughts...obviously the deal breaker becomes the King's desire for Greene. Great job greene for having a monster summer league!

    Now if Artest can get his acts together, then we would be awesome. SUK it LA!

    WOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    don't forget that scrub Larry Robinson, who showed his face too much in the championship pictures with David Stern!

    Deckard this is AMAZING !!

    I mean we got Artest for a can of spit and a half eaten bag of doritos and a bottle of 2007 Cabernet Savignon (which may or may not be good)....

    I mean this is FRICKEN amazing......

    It does give us 4 quality SG/SFs....maybe we move Battier for a PG...but even if not.....we are still a WC favorite.

    HOLY COW !!

    RE: No Knuckleheads!!!

    We additionally agree. Bringing a head case on board, whether in the beginning or in the middle of the season, will doom a team to failure. That's why we're not expecting much this year, especially a championship.

    Didn't we get Maxwell for cash and some puffy Tacos?

    Artest for Greene and BJax? that's like getting him for a dozen Krispy Kremes

    The newbs wouldn't get this one, it would be hard for them.

    BOTH TEAMS PLAY HARD though.
