On the other hand, you got to figure if anyone can make Artest shape up, it's Shaq. Kind of like MJ did with Rodman.
I believe that's known in the sporting industry as "abject terror".

Regardless, it's a scary thought.
Artest of today is not the Artest pre-suspension. He's sorta like Bonzi, big, strong, tough, very effective ... but only when he wants to be, which isn't very often.
In similar news
the Pacers have put Jermaine Oneal on the block
JO wanted to come to SA during free agency but stayed cuz he likes Isaiah Thomas
Uh, but then the Pacers promplty fired Thomas
Id love to see Tim and Jermaine in the front court
JO is worth a lot of risk, Artest is not. JO much more upside.
I would rather trade for JO than for Artest
No trades for you..
Scared?
Wrong. Watch a game.
He is still one of the premier man-to-man perimeter defenders.
Artest rebounds, steals, hits 3s and even gets some blocks.
He can swing from SG to SF to PF on occasion.
He's very good.
That could be really bad if the Suns traded for Artest. He completely shut Manu down in all but like one game in that '06 series vs. Sacramento. We're talking old-school Bowen vs. Stojakovic level owning.
True, but unless D'Antoni installs a defensive system, one-on-one defense tends to not do a whole lot.
And unless Ron-Ron changes his colors, his penchant for pounding the ball for ten seconds will completely break the Phoenix offense.
Are you serious.
Obviously, the Suns got Shaq and are looking at Artest, because they finally realize that offenses need to score more in the halfcourt in the playoffs.
Artest should be on our team!
With one wave of Shaq's mighty penis, Ron Ron will be instantly pertrified and bow to his will. Shaq will make Ron his .
Raja Bell already fills the role of what Artest could bring for the suns... it would be a chemistry dismantling move and welcome by us if it happens.. i don;t c Raja standing him
If this happens, the Suns are much more likely to win a championship. In fact, I don't know if the Spurs could beat them. I'm nearly in favor of our trading for Artest simply to prevent him from going to LA, Phoenix, NO, Dallas, etc...
You see that would be funny if uh, the girls in my sig werent already in their 20s.
Intelligence never was your strong suit.
No I would never like Ron Artest in a Spurs uniform. I couldn't stand Dennis Rodman, and I popdamntee you I would detest Artest in a Spur uniform.
I would definately sell my tickets for i wouldn't want to be apart of anything that piece of has to deal with.
Wow. so it even has a term?
I don't really believe that, but it seems unfair teams are getting new players who will help thier team practically for nothing. I'm not saying the Spurs need to make moves to counter, but if Artest goes to Suns...
Teams are trading to beat the Spurs. Should we trade to beat ourselves? We'll see come playoff time if those moves actually worked. Right now biggest Spurs move is to get Tony Parker back healthy.
I think my hunger for just one championship would overshadow whatever reservations I have about letting Artest join the team. I think Artest would definitely be the missing piece, because he's Marion-like but an even better defender. It's different for Spurs fans, who have had the chance to enjoy 4 separate victories. You don't need an Artest-type player to satisfy that kind of hunger.
I don't know why you'd sell out just for a ring.
Gotta have some principles.
Principles? What are you talking about? It's not like I'm promoting cheating or buying the refs out. Artest is a bit of a nutjob, but he does a lot of the same things Marion did.
A bit?
Thats like saying Charles Manson was a bit of a murderer.
If the Suns got Artest, that'd be damn scary. Raja Bell and Artest to guard Manu and Parker? With Shaq and Amare to clog the middle? Not even D'Antoni could mess up those types of defensive assets.
If the trade goes down, I'd have admit that the Suns would be the favorites to win the championship. Teams would have to hope for Shaq to get hurt or Artest to snap.
question that needs to be addressed here that noone seems to mention, who in the would sac get from the deal? we're ready to move him, but i'd imagine we would want some value in return. don't see us giving him for free ala memphis here.
the suns could trade for MJ of 96 and still D'antoni would not know how to carry them to the championship.
they need to trade for a coach if they really want to win
