    Really? I thought that they can't be traded for 30 days after signing a contract. Oh well we got ourselves some Artest.

    If it's Greene included in the trade, why make him change his number?

    Artest will donate his salary if Morey hires Adelman next season.

    Wow ... so the Rockets turned Bobby Jackson, a future first, and the 25th pick into Ron Artest and Joey Dorsey?

    That's badass.

    until Aug. 14, though that would indicate the deal could include Rockets’ first round draft pick Donte’ Greene. Greene is not permitted to be traded until then, one month from when he signed with the Rockets.

    I sorta wish it would be Landry since Landry probably won't even re-sign.. or doesn't seem eager to. If it is Luther or Brooks, it would be straight robbery. If it is Greene, then it would be an unpredictable steal (in the long run).

    I'm so ecstatic right know, this is great!

    If Greene was being traded as the 3rd player, why did they take pictures of him in his new jersey and number?

    I think Greene is going to be good later.

    Either way, we get a proven nba player in Artest

    Greene should be happy. He'll probably get to play next season now. And we got someone who can contribute and make an impact right now.

    Here's to hoping that Yao and Battier and (hopefully) Deke provide enough leadership to keep Artest stable.

    Alston/Brooks/Francis
    Tmac/Barry/Head
    Artest/Battier/Harris or Novak
    Scola/Landry/Hayes
    Yao/Deke/Dorsey


    NICE. makes the lineup very versatile for many different situations.

    This is huge news, but why is no one, not even the Sacramento newspaper reporting this too?

    If Artest's head is screwed on straight and T-Mac and Yao are healthy then there is no way this team doesn't win over 60 games.
