What do you think Artest will do... help us on offense and defense?
Don't be a scared little girl.
He's a calculated risk.
After he Fs up the Spurs run at le #5 this season?

Being scared is thinking the Spurs have to make a move.
Being smart is thinking that bringing a mental patient on board could up a championship program.
Teams go after Artest when they've been on the outside looking in and are willing to gamble that he won't lose his sanity or when he does, it won't hurt them that much (think Elliott for Rodman).
What's the impetus here? The Spurs are coming off a championship, they have their system down, and the last team to have knocked them off in the postseason is trading two of the reasons why they were able to knock the Spurs off.
Now's no time to be scared and make a trade like that.
The impetus is our team taking a slight step back due to atrophy and our main rivals all adding star-quality players.
Didn't Rodman re-energize the Spurs before winning 3 les with the Bulls?
we really miss of player with ron's skills sine we lost sean
tony is your score first PG that can share the ball, run fast breaks, and run the pick and roll
manu=the slasher we have wanted since the D anderson expirement
bowen just doesn't have the O game like sean elliot that could use his ninja skills to shut you down while performing memorial miracles. ROn artest is that player the one that is a Strong D with O skills
tim duncan=best bigman the spurs have seen sine david robinson enough said
srub center really the best we can hope for now (woudl love to have diop , here or more TD to Center and have a 4 like dirk, rwallace, brand)
this position is problay going to reserved for spillter
really Ron artest's player type is just what the spurs need
Atrophy? They've got the same crew together and the oldest member of their big 3 is 31 years old, who happens to be the best low post player in the game. What's the major issue that requires shipping out one of your stars or taking on a headcase?
Did the Spurs win a le during his time here? And he was a major distraction.Didn't Rodman re-energize the Spurs before winning 3 les with the Bulls?
Thanks, clubalien.
Some people think that the Spurs can have their pick of the litter and that people don't deserve second chances.
I too would like Ron Artest with this team, but I just don't think he'll fit in. I just don't.
odd even rule dude
Glenn Robinson worked out well. I like at Ron Artest in that sort of way. A half a season rental who could pay off. However, what if the Kings don't want what the Spurs are offering?
What a .
Difference is, Glenn Robinson wasn't insane. Plus the Spurs only had to sign him to a vet min contract. Landing Artest would require sending out a 1st round pick at least, along with passing on other trade alternatives.
Nah.
What other trade alternatives.
You act like the Spurs are sitting back wondering whether to pull the trigger on Miller, Maggette or Artest.
Spurs send out picks all the time.
They are not made to bring along rookies at this point.
What are you afraid of?
The Kings might want to include Kenny Thomas in the trade and that's probably why teams are reluctant to trade for Artest. Thomas has a huge contract. The Spurs would be wise to stay away from acquiring Thomas' contract.
Off all the reason to nix a trade.. first round picks should be the least of them. Seriously we waste our pick and throw it in trades every chance we get it seems.
what player in the draft where we pick is going to have impact ron would on this team. None!
The Spurs giving up picks doesn't bother me. Having to take on a wasted contract like Thomas' worries me.
You act like the Spurs can land anyone in the NBA.
Which you have ed about.Spurs send out picks all the time.
Let's see, disrupting a championship winning program. That is, even if Artest would be available to the Spurs, which, contrary to your opinion, has not been established.They are not made to bring along rookies at this point.
What are you afraid of?
In that case the Spurs would have to send out:
Barry
Horry
Elson
Bonner
Probably. If the Kings were willing to let Artest alone go w/out including Thomas, I would be okay it with. Other than that, no!!!
Wait a second... I am advocating a trade for Artest because other teams would be afraid and because the Spurs never are able to land star-quality talent.
You have been advocating that the Spurs need to make a panic move because other Western teams have been making moves. Then again, that was last week.
To top it off, you want the Spurs to go after the least sane player in the NBA.
You can go back and check my posts but I have always wanted a player of rons type(including him) since before this trade blitz happened.
I cannot speak for ghost on his reasons, but I remember him wanting the spurs to get ballers from a while back.
Nope.
Not a panic move at all.
A calculated risk.
You don't know what you want.
You say "don't trade" and then say "we can't count on the front office with cap space."
Phooooooooooooo.
You don't get it. Taking on a "caluclated risk" like Artest is a panic move for the Spurs.
Standing pat or making an opportunistic move for a quality player looks better now, especially with the Mavs moving Harris and Diop.
The Mavs are our third threat behind the Lakers and the Suns.
I guess we're totally dismissing the airtight starting five of the Hornets, too.
What kind of Popportunistic move would be better than Artest?
