    Dun know whether Artest will enjoy that bench spot, but Battier would seem more of a reliable 6th man, with reliable 3 pt shooting and elite defense. If you think about it, versatile players like Kobe would be shut down by Battier, whiles stronger players like Lebron would be shut down by Artest. In anyway, we have Brains and Brawl defense, we don't see that anywhere else in NBA.

    BTW, I was at a club when I found out about this trade. One of the televisions there was on ESPN and on the bottom ticker all I saw was for Bobby Jackson, etc. I was like "WHO DID THE ROCKETS TRADE FOR???" I was in a hurry to get home after seeing that to find out who and to see what ClutchFans was saying. :D

    I realized that everybody's concern seems to be Artest's legal troubles, but has anyone actually seen the charity work artest is involved in?

    Even more important than landing Artest is the fact that other WC teams didn't get him.

    Anybody know when we can expect some sort of press conference and Artest's official introduction as a member of the Houston Rockets? :)

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but the other players included with Artest are Patrick Ewing Jr. and Sean Singletary.

    Yes and most likely released since they only have partially guaranteed contracts.
