Danny Ferry is waiting too because he is a Spurs FO clone...
I wouldn't be surprised at all if another team tries to swoop in with a better deal. It's no secret this got leaked out today, the Kings want maximum value.
Bobby Jackson, 1st rounder, and Donta Greene really isn't much of an offer for Artest.

The guy aka as Phils could learn a policy thing or two from PJ during "money time". Rodman was traded a few times before ringing with Phil, MJ and the networks.
Who is to say Artest would not be fine with 10 shots a game on the Spurs.
Signing Tolliver wiped out all their energy. Besides, making moves right now would be way too predictable considering all the players that could potentially be signed or traded. That CIA Pop!
This question may have an obvious answer to some on here, and for that I may draw some sarcasm, but now who takes the final shot for the win: T-Mac or Ronnie?
Well this sucks. I know that we were not going to touch Artest with a 10ft pole with all his drama queen issues, but man, Houston getting him? If they can stay healthy they are going to be hard to handle. Their shooting/defensive depth is now incredible. I don't know that there is much more our FO can do this offseason. Lets hope this is a signal to let Finley go and find a way to bring someone in that can give us some depth off the bench to counter...but who that person might be is a question mark. Its not like there were a lot of good options at the swingman spot anyway.
So its on the youngsters...them and the health of our big three will have to be the deciding factors in our ability to remain compe ive.
Barry....
we will take the best available shot. our chemistry is great and our players trust each other, from rafer alston to shane battier.
You know what is funny. How everybody was saying that in order to get Artest you'd have to trade Battier and another player like Luther Head just to get him. Last year the Kings wanted Aaron Brooks but the Rockets refused. This year they send of BJAX who sucked last year in the playoffs and also send a rookie over. This is incredible.
.
The Rockets did display great chemistry with the roster they had last season for periods (particularly during the winning streak), but I was referring more to a situation where the Spurs decide to stay home on the perimeter guys to avoid giving up open shots from long-distance (especially knowing that to be a strength of Houston's)...who's the man down the stretch to take the big shor one-on-one?
last season it was us with gasol. now it was rockets with the rape of kings and getting artest for trash. nice deal.
ing .
There's a reason why nobody offered any good players for Artest. He's a huge risk. For HOU, if they don't make it deep in the playoffs this year they will probably blow up the team anyways so Artest potentially walking next off-season isn't that big of a deal.
If it pays off, kudos to the Rockets. If not, it's not like you didn't know what you were getting into beforehand.
WTF? This has to be bull , right?
in that case, we will trust yao ming to go one on one against oberto
does anyone get the feeling that our time is truly coming to a close now ???
i mean, struggled with the hornets, and now they add posey who will be able to knock down the open clutch 3s that mo pete and peja could not.
we got our asses beat by the lakers, and now bynum is back healthy.
and now the rockets add artest. the rockets always played us tough even when they only had yao and tmac....now they are downright beastly with artest and brent barry to spread the floor.
those are 3 teams i feel we are simply not better than right now. then just think, even if we somehow made it out of the west, we might have to face a team like boston.... man we need to make some moves or we're done.
Oberto wouldn't be anywhere NEAR Yao in that instance, LOL....not laughing at you but rather the idea.
They are moving the Rockettes to Vegas Anyway. Celine Dione is going to be the new owner
yeah don't want to get dunk on I guess.
Now it's our turn to get a lopsided deal. I demand one by training camp.
When you are named a finals MVP yeah you are not just like any other player.
Neither Bynum or the core of the Rockets in guaranteed a healthy season. There is a strong possibility that might factor into the outcome of LA and HOU's respective seasons in some way or another.
I wouldn't put it past the Kings to try this.
Yeah, that would be a crappy way to end a game, though it sure would be funny to see.
