why would you trade Bruce? Ron well never be half the player Bruce is.

Artest has proven to be a much better quitter and record producer than Bruce.

Pop would never trade Bowen. He'll retire a Spur. Mark the tape. :tu

plus Artest is a MUCH better offensive player it's not even funny


and the Spurs get younger

the team we have is good the way it is. there is no necessity to trade or alter the team, especially if they want to trade someone for Ron

everyone thought Big Dogg would be a problem and look how that turned out

---

Yeah, he cost us about $300k for 20 games and no players in trade.

If we could do the same with Artest I'd be all for it.

Sure :rolleyes

By the way, who wins the next Lotto?

The Spurs need Artest like they need a punch in the face, so in that respect the trade would work, as that's about all that the Spurs would get. He should retire from basketball and launch a hip hop trio featuring himself, Bobby Brown, and Mike Tyson.

Maybe Tonya Harding can be their manager.

From what I've read so far Artest isn't considering the Spurs and the Spurs aren't considering Artest, most articles don't even mention Artest and Spurs at all.

CIA Pop didn't get that name for nuthin. :tu

I thought if Pop actually said he wasn't interested in something on paper/radio then CIA Pop would kick in.

From all the stories on the internet via Yahoo regarding the trade. And local newspaper.

Tyson and Artest were separated at birth.

No way this happens, no freakin way.

Pop acquires team guys, Artest doesn't know the meaning of the word.

No way.

Why the hell would you want Artest when you have Bowen anyway? To disrupt team chemistry??? Makes no sense.

Pacers president Donnie Walsh told The Indianapolis Star News he is in the process of narrowing the list of teams interested in trading for forward Ron Artest. The Nuggets are expected to be on that list and have offered forward-center Nene and guard Earl Watson. ... A $1.6 million medical exception the Nuggets were given by the NBA for Nene expired Monday. ... Guard Earl Boykins (left hamstring strain) is questionable for Wednesday, guard Greg Buckner (left hip flexor strain) is listed as day to day and forward Kenyon Martin (left knee tendinitis) is a game-time decision. ... The Nuggets had a light practice Monday and coach George Karl was unavailable for comment. ... Vandeweghe said plans to send rookie guard Julius Hodge to NBADL Austin are postponed because of injuries.
