Not going to happen, might as well not waste anymore time on this topic.
The only swingmen that the Spurs have right now are Bowen/Manu/Udoka/Mason. They definitely need one more wing. Too bad Ron isn't sane and the Spurs don't have someone tradeable who another team would want.

Deceiving thread le.
Ron (or Bill) is nuts.
Bad thread le. Just bad!
there is nothing to see here people...move along.
If the Spurs are unable to find another wing, with their limited remaining funds, perhaps Hairston?
Just curious....could the Spurs sign and trade Finley on a heavily front loaded multi-year deal that wasn't definite after year 1. This, Bonner and grab bag of picks is probably the only legit shot, and it's not really that legit.
There will be wings available in time. Patience.
OP is in the 'needs to get a clue' sweepstakes
No kidding... he is posting garbage. He should know, as any Spurs fan should, that we have NO chance at getting Artest.
For the benefit of everyone concerned, let's hope Finley has played his last game as a Spur.
Bowen, Bonner for Artest.
lil bit, lil bit
nah, you insulted him a lil bit.
I have no update as yet on the one-sided Lakers-Kings talks reported on Thursday, but keep an eye on Ronny Turiaf's situation while the waiting game continues.
The Lakers forward has accepted a four-year, $17 million offer sheet from Golden State and the Lakers have seven days to match it. It seems inconceivable that they will and it's to the Kings' advantage if they don't.
Artest Watch
If they are to convince the Lakers to take back forward Kenny Thomas in a deal in which Artest would be LA-bound and Lamar Odom would come to Sacramento, they need Turiaf to head for the Bay Area. The Lakers are already near the luxury tax and not looking to go any further, and they may buy into the logic that Thomas - who turns 31 on July 25 - could provide quality defensive-minded minutes off the bench just like Turiaf did.
With the chance to get out of Sacramento and his invisible existence, Thomas may even do a few dances courtside like the jovial Turiaf has been known for. Thomas is owed approximately $18 over the next two seasons, so the lump sum is about equal with Turiaf's offer sheet (albeit in two less seasons). It's the price of doing business if they want to acquire the underpaid Artest ($7.4 million).
Meanwhile, the many who can't envision a Lakers-Kings blockbuster trade of any kind have a valid point. It would go against the NBA grain, but it should be said that any and all theories that the Maloofs simply wouldn't let it happen couldn't be further from the truth. They will pull the trigger if they get what they want.
If not, they'll hope to make something happen with someone else. Among the teams I've been told to keep a serious eye on in the Artest sweepstakes: Dallas, Miami, Phoenix, San Antonio and maybe even Charlotte. I often wonder about Toronto as well, but have yet to hear anything substantial on that front.
* As a quick sidenote, Artest continues to routinely go on the air with KHTK's Carmichael Dave.
The latest from the Ron-Ron show: he's decided to change his name. OK, so technically he wants to go by his middle name of William. The thinking? Since Ron Artest is back to getting so much negative media coverage, maybe going by Bill - as he requested to be called - could give him a fresh start. Never a dull moment... - Sam Amick

this... Artest won't be a Spur.
This is the same blog that started the thread...Or am I missing something?
oh crap....haha.
i didnt read the post and i just assumed it was the persons opinion.
i didnt see a link posted in the original and i heard KABB talk about it so i decided to look it up.
Id love Artest on this team.... but its not going to happen.
Sweepstakes? Lol Sam Amick Is acting like these are Kobe Trade rumors, I believe teams want Bill Artest But i highly doubt we can get anything better than Odom and a filler.
The Spurs FO wont make a run at Artest because there fukin pussies. If they didn't even take the risk of trying to sign JR Smith what makes you think they willl to trade for the Ron Ron. Lets get serious here the Spurs never go for the big trades. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF PUSSIES! FIRE RC PUSSYFORD!
I thought you said you were done with the Spurs.
lets get this deal done already so this summer doesnt become more boring. for me personally no rumors and call of duty 4 nearing its death has become my summer of boredom
I never said i was done with the Spurs. IM NOT A QUITER. All i said was that if the Spurs dont get Jr Smith then put a fork in them. That doesnt mean im done with them. It simply means they wont win it next season.
Who exactly are the Spurs going to trade for Artest?
