    Yes as long as Keyon Dooling is apart of the deal.

    Of course...Artest can't even drive to the basket and was clearly in decline even before the injury.

    Artest is worth about half of Carter... who else would go with other than just Head?

    No......his contract is too long and too much.....for his production.

    exactly. his contract is way too long. how old will he be in his final season like 36? 37?


    artest is more valuable on this team than vince....he causes match up problems if used correctly. put him in the post against anyone on the jazz (we saw what happened back in december)....there are very few SF's and SG's that can bang with him down low......unfortunately, we have him jacking up threes. i just dont understand it.

    I'd say neither trade Artest for something more valuable.

    KEEP ARTEST!!!
    Dump McGrady in the offseason,
    then resign Artest.

    DD his contract is only 4 years long....shorter than Cory and Rip...also we would only have him for 3 of the 4 years which would make him only a year after the 2010 FA class.....reason i say this is would be trade bait as an expiring deal.....

    you guys who want vince will only be complaing about his lack of production 2 years from now. he's not getting any better. just older, slower, and less athletic if anything...
