    Also Kleiza + Najera + 1st round pick is what I'm reading.

    Is that what Kings wants from Denver? Well that puts Denver ahead of us in the line, especailly if we are not giving up Brooks, probably not giving up Battier.

    It's the wait game now. I too think Morey is playing it right. I wish we could get Artest not giving up much at all.

    why do u want battier if ur gonna get artest?

    battier is just gonna get 10 mins a game if he stays and we get artest.

    i say give up head/battier and possibly a pick for artest (if can hold back on the pick, then please do).

    head is too one-dimensional.

    Kleiza or not, who do you think will surrender first?

    We shall know the answer in less than 24 hrs.

    Let's go Morey, get it done, Miller or Artest. :)

    Bullcrap.

    Yao 30 mpg
    McGrady 30 mpg
    Artest 30 mpg
    Battier 30 mpg
    Rafer 20-30 mpg
    Scola-25-30 mpg
    Landry 25-30 mpg
    Bonzi 25-30 mpg
    Brooks 20-30 mpg


    There's you a nice, nice 9 man rotation with everybody getting plenty of minutes and nobody getting overused, with offense and defense on the floor at all times.

    Lol why would Denver want Artest to go to Houston when they can just pull the trigger for themselves?

    Yeah...that pick up is to counter Gasol and Bynum, Shaq and Amare, and Yao and Scola....it's going to be BIG MAN WARS in the playoffs.....Hopefully Yao is Luke Skywalker....

    nah, there'll still be plenty of opps fer Shane to see floor time + its prolly a good idea to keep a mature mentally balanced alternative to Ron 'i'll kick yah arse in the stands' Artest.

    Best case scenario considering the recent Jackson rumor:

    Houston gets:
    Bobby Jackson
    Rasual Butler

    New Orleans gets:
    Mike James
    Bonzi Wells

    _________________________

    Houston gets:
    Ron Artest

    Sacramento gets:
    Aaron Brooks
    Luther Head
    Kirk Snyder
    Steve Francis

    __________________________

    The Rockets pick up Jackson to replace Brooks as backup PG.

    if we can do that, i put money on us being a top 2-3 team. i guess we'll have to wait and see. let's see morey put that MIT degree to use. :)
