    Saw PTI the other day bashing Artest being sacastic that he was the 'cancer' in our locker room because of the words said about T-Mac.
    My nephew just called me and said they reported that the Rockets are shopping him.
    Id love to keep Ron for a couple of more seasons, but I do think that he is still on the block even with T-Mac questionable.

    Unless your nephew is Doc Rocket, I'm not sure this is thread worthy.

    I think everyone who follows the Rockets knows who the real cancer is. I'm guessing the Rockets are still willing to trade Ron but they probably want more for him now that McGrady needs a triple-bypass or a new hip or whatever he is telling the media today.

    It will be interesting to see if T Mac snaps out of his funk once Ron is traded.

    Trade Artest will be a big mistake.

    Marion without a good point guard is useless.

    I would agree that Artest is the real cancer..

    Just saying...history is known to repeat itself...

    I dunno. Last year, chemistry was amazing, 22-game win streak etc. This year, chemistry sucks, too much 1-on1, not enough Defense.

    What's has changed between last year and this year?

    How is Artest a cancer? He tells it like it is...he called out McGrady's D because someone needed to. You wanna talk about cancer, watch Tracy on a night when he is 1-9 from the field and pouting the whole game because his shot isn't falling!! Artest, though inconsistent at times, goes hard regardless of the score. So what if he was laughing at Mac after blowing the dunk in Milwaukee, so was everyone else on the bench

    The difference is Artest might be a cancer but T-mac plays like he has cancer. Which would you take?

    Artest can easily bolt us after this season. We could lose him for absolutely nothing. At least with T-Mac, there is chance that the "cancer" clears up. Plus, his expiring contract is worth platinum next year.

    How about you go ask Indiana who the real cancer is..
    Then ask Reggie Miller what he thinks about Ron Artest..
