Artest would snap come post-season.
It's just a feeling, but a strong one none the less.
One bad loss and the snowball would soon turn into an avalanch.
Kerr bringing in Shaq signifies the first step in transforming the Suns into a team that can score in the halfcourt in the playoffs.
Artest is a superior defender and scores well in the halfcourt.
I wish the Spurs would sign Artest if only for T Park to disown the team.

everyone is talking about artest and about the suns. uh... yeah, the KINGS would sorta have to be involved to make this work, no?
How about the rumor of Cassell to the Rockets
You act as if the Kings are intent on keeping him. He's likely to walk at seasons end, so if they can nab the Atlanta 1st from the Suns for him, I think that's pretty solid compensation for a 3-month, hopefully 4-month, rental.
He's been rumored to a number of teams recently. I'm notsaying he has to go to the Suns, but the Kings would be pretty foolish to keep him at this point. He's not sticking around after this year and it's not like his contract is so huge that they'll net any kind of CAP relief. Not having to pay his salary from this point forward and a mid-1st is certainly reason enough to ship him off.
Is Artest worth $15 million this season to Sarver?
Except that Ron Artest has a mental illness. It is not about growing up. It is about taking his medication. The very illness that requires medication also makes the person not willing to take it.
Have you ever watched Artest play basketball or do you just pull these out of your butt? 50% of the time he kills the offense because he thinks he's a first-option scorer.
Let him go to Phoenix and that team up then!
..
This year. Last year. They've been trying to dump his ass since after the 2006 playoff series, when he'd been there a whole 3 months.
When did the Suns become the NY Knicks?!?!?!
All of the sudden they're making trade for high-profile players that don't fit a system or build team chemistry...what's the deal?
Bringing in Shaq was questionable because of his health, bloated contract, and fit to the system. Bringing in Artest would be questionable because his mental state is....well, questionable.
Agreed. Every year the Spurs have won a championship, it is because of CHEMISTRY and TEAMWORK. They've been beating teams with superior level of talent for years, solely because they play damn good together. It's not about high profile players, but rather finding the right pieces to make it work.
It's funny cause it's true.
Didn't Artest pretty much take the Spurs to 6 games by himself a while back when the Kings met the Spurs?
I'd hate the Suns to get Artest. He is good.
is there a source
The internets said so.
ahh of course, the internets know all
I agree, a highly motivated Shaq should be able to keep Artest in line.
Yeah, because he did such a great job of keeping Kobe in line. If there was leadership in that Laker locker room, it wasn't coming from Shaq. He's never struck me as any kind of team leader. He's a ing clown.
I Do Not Want Artest On The Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was Bonzi Wells
I think the Suns are in desperation mode. They know that if they are gonna ever win a championship, it has to be done while Nash is still on the team. And the window of opportunity is closing. So, if they want to bring in all these players then let them. As has been said, sometimes the pieces added can do more harm than good... chemistry wise. And even if you have all of the best players in the world, it always comes down to role players.
And Kevin Martin. That kid scorched us good in that series.
