There is an article on nba.yahoo.com about him wanting a trade. It's obvious ron-ron is a total mess and a complete opposite of a Spur. but let's just think about this for a second. Am I the only person that thinks we can turn him back into this

He's not a cancerous player, that story has been overplayed..he's just a shitty player that has always been overrated, and now he's clearly on the decline..

He contributes more to the Spurs by being a Laker.

Perhaps Artest will be wearing a Nuggets jersey soon...

Hard to question PJ's methods with his record, but would you want to play for someone who does his coaching through the media? Winning is the only thing that matters in pro sports I reckon...

The Lakers and the Spurs are two of the last teams I see making a deal together.

He would be amazing on the Spurs. But, I don't want to see any of the current roster go in exchange.

That was before Artest won his first ring and when we were stuck at 14.

Artest would be a great addition, but I can see him go to Minnesotas, for Love and the next five 1 round picks of the Twolves.

Not only do I not want any part of Ron Artest, but I don't believe that he really wants out of LA.

Agreed. That Kobe Artest photo from the Houston playoff series has always been overplayed; the Rockets never let Artest guard Kobe that whole series except for when Battier got in foul trouble.

He'd be terrible on the Spurs. He's a volume shooter (he's done a decent job of trying to tone that down in LA, but he still takes a lot of shots outside of the framework of the offense) who is well past his prime.

His defense at this stage is vastly overrated. He hasn't been able to defend quicker wings for a few years now. Last year, he still had the ability to guard the stronger, post up 3s around the league. Paul Pierce was a perfect match-up for him in the Finals - and RonRon played well. But the fact that even guys like Pierce are torching him now should be a giant red flag that he is no longer capable of doing the things that once made him a valuable player.

All that...and he's certifiable.

You got your 4. They're homogenous, but, 4 nonetheless.

Without him, we're at 15, and Kobe ain't repeated 3 times.

RJ for Artest. RJ seems to be regressing to 2009-2010 form.

Artest would be useful if not for when we face the Lakers. Dude would be pissed off.

and for lakers, they have Luke and RJ in the same team.

1) i think that would have been a decent trade last year (although I wouldn't want any part of Ron's contract long-term).

this year, RJ has played better defense than Artest.

2) #7 defense in the league is definitely not broken. would like to see it getter better, but it's not broken.

I do think our defense is far from championship form, but do we risk what we have in chemistry for a player like Artest?

Dont get me wrong I would love to give Artest a shot, but not in a trade scenario. Yes our defense is poor, but look where we are now, without lockdown D.

If Artest cant be happy for the defending Lakers, in a large market, playing with two of the best players in the game, why would he be happy here?

Pass.

Yes. You are. Keep Ron-Ron as far away from the Spurs locker room as humanly possible!

By the way - you do know that Kobe torched him in that series?

Battier made him work at times, but Ron couldn't stay in front of him.
