Desperate times call for desperate measures. If Tracy is really less than ideal for Adelman's plans, trading him for the Tru Warrier is the best alternative for salvaging this season. The Tru Warrier may have special needs and special tendencies, but he's worked well with Adelman in the past. He also made Bonzi Wells look good. A trio of Hayes, Tru Warrier, and Battier and the 4-3-2 would make life difficult for opposing post and perimeter players. Tru Warrier is our only hope. Yes, that scares me.
Hell no. I have issues with Tmac because he should be mentioned with the greats in the game. He comes up short. I have issues with Artest because he is a criminal, a loose cannon and because he thinks he is Tmac on offense when he is a second option at best. Artest comes up short as a decent human being and team mate. Did I say Hell No already?
I thought guy was guy. Unless T-Mac is the guy or was it Yao guy? I think the French would take exception because the revere the name Guy but have a funny way of pronouncing it like Gee.
Ron Artest would be great and I think he could work. However, T-mac's contract is such an albatross that we would have to take on either Bmiller's contract or Bibby's. Out of the two I'd much rather go with Mike Bibby. Outgoing: Mcgrady, Alston, Head Incoming: Artest and Bibby. We can also ask them to throw in Salmons or Garcia even though they are playing really well and their stocks are high.
U might be able to talk them into taking shane instead of tmac ron doesn't make a whole lot of money. this is what i propose and the reason it might work is because they are trying to dump kenny's contract plus they know that ron isn't going to be there next year. now that is where our gamble comes in at the end of the year we may be stuck with only kenny thomas bad contract also we aren't sure if ron will resign with us. james would be there replacement once they move bibby to clevland or the heat whichever it is they would now have a temporary replacement that is cheaper for 3 yrs. our line up rafer/brooks/francis tmac/bonzi/francis ron/bonzi scola/hayes yao/landry Sacramento Kings Incoming Players Kirk Snyder Salary: $2,358,433 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 3.8 REB: 1.3 AST: 0.9 PER: 15.02 Shane Battier Salary: $5,883,600 Years Remaining: 4 PTS: 8.4 REB: 4.9 AST: 1.8 PER: 10.92 Mike James Salary: $5,826,893 Years Remaining: 2 PTS: 7.3 REB: 1.7 AST: 1.8 PER: 10.51 Outgoing Players: Kenny Thomas, Ron ArtestHouston Rockets Incoming Players Kenny Thomas Salary: $7,875,000 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 1.4 REB: 2.7 AST: 0.6 PER: 2.74 Ron Artest Salary: $7,400,000 Years Remaining: 2 PTS: 19.1 REB: 6.1 AST: 4.3 PER: 17.20 Outgoing Players: Kirk Snyder, Shane Battier, Mike James
^^^^^ I know the Kings want to dump either Rahims' contract or KTs' but there is no way in hell Morey should accept either one. Esepcially not when we have Scola, Hayes and Landry. KT is an expensive, more polished offensively but equally undersized and older version of Hayes. STAY AWAY!
2 years is a long time. And if we give up James and take KT in return it's like taking one step forward and 1 step backward.
if I had to take kt to get aftest, it would be a done deal. kt is undersized, but he's better than hayes. Getting Artest is the deal.
