Artest has a +19.46 eff rating from last season, couple that with Yao's +25 T-Macs +24,Scola is something like +15 and Rafer is +10. That starting line-up should be one of the NBA's best units.
wow, was out this night and decided to catch up to NBA news on my phone at around 9pm, and the first headline said "Kings send Artest to Rockets" and I freaked out! incredible, and to know that we only had to give up B-jax, Greene, and a pick was really great. I think this also gives Greene a better chance to play since he was only suppose to be a prospect of the future for us. Now with the Kings, he has a real chance of being a rotation player. Just seriously hope this trade works out, and that there are great times to come....
Wow!! I just go to the chronicle right now not expecting nothing and artest is coming to Houston! Man, I am so happy right now!!!
ohh god gimma a break......i watched all the syracuse games last year and saying he punished opposing defenses by shooting what? a little over 40%? if he gave a damn he'd play some D and stop being lazy and just sitting outside jacking up shots...............greene has tools but his head is just in the wrong place.......he will be nothing in this league unless it changes...........there's a reason so many teams passed on him........he should've stayed in college........so right now he's basically a real ****ty tim thomas.
I'm sure this has been answered, but I don't want to sift through 50 pages to find it, but what are the odds that the deal will not go down? I just don't like how the deal will become official on August 14th... I guess that's why the front page isn't "SPLASHED"... How solid is this deal guys, 100% or???
artest and dorsey added to battier, scola, landry, hayes wow. can you say no defensive drop off (in terms of intensity) for 48 minutes. every gritty, bloodthirsty, team oriented, defensive, hard nosed, crazed hustling, melee that occurs, we will have two full fledged suicide bombers in there rippin it up. first there was battier and hayes. then scolandry now... dortest? or maybe artsey? hmmm. i think we just have what i would call "the intensity unit". putting more than two of them on the court at the same time might cause... OMG, this is going to be a great season. it will be easy to root for a team that will have this kind of intensity. last season was great, and the lead in for next season OMG
Just pending league's approval and Donte Greene eligibility to be traded on Aug.14th. You can relax on this one. Kings probably explore all the possibilties before trading us. It's not like other teams' GMs had to find out through the media. We probably offered the best deal Kings think they get for Artest. Also, in the world of GMs and contracts, something solid probably has been inked on the agreement just waiting to be fully executed after Aug.14, otherwise there is no way they would say the agreement has been reached... The fact that no denial about the trade from both sides tell you something. Just relax and have the moment.
