I'm not sure I'd give up Kleiza if I were Denver.
I could see Barry/Elson, and maybe even adding a first round pick
But adding Mahinmi or Splitter would be foolhardy.
Everybody knows it would just be a rental of Artest, no matter what. Everyone knows he wants to opt out and play in New York.
Even if he's open to staying in SA this summer, even supposing they win a ring this year, does anybody seriously think the Spurs would give him a long term deal for big numbers in order to keep him given his history? Even a short term 3-year deal for big numbers?
This is the same front office that wouldn't even give Stephen Jackson more than 3 million a year after he started on a le team and was absolutely vital to the run and hit giant clutch shots. And Jackson at that point had never started a giant brawl, quit on his team to run a music label, demand a trade, abuse dogs, threaten to retire, get repeated calls of 911 for police to come to his residence, and all other sorts of shenanigans like Artest has.
Artest for Barry/Elson fine, add a first even, but it's just a short term thing.

A team with Melo, J.R. Smith and Artest all together? Yeah, nothing can go wrong there
Kleiza wouldn't keep me from getting Ron Artest.
Dunno whats the big deal about him.
How about, he's not ing nuts?
They should get Artest.
And then bring Jimmy Chang back.
I'm warming up to the idea.
On second thought, I'd rather they acquire Pietrus than Artest.

Cuban is and you guys let him stick around.
I mean look at the TRADE HE JUST MADE!?!!?!
It's not that crazy.
NO ONE beats Artest in mental instability. Not even close.
That said, if we can get him for cheap, I'd do it.

these playoffs are getting easier every day
Its nucking futs I tell you.
I highly doubt there's any merit to this rumor. Perhaps the Spurs inquired about him, but I doubt it has gotten very far or will it get very far. Going after Artest doesn't really seem to follow the Spurs past actions; they hardly ever go after a guy with questionable character as high as Artest, and 2ndly they hardly ever react to monumental trades or panic midseason enough to make such a big trade as this would entail.
you're moving up my list
If Ron is on the team, he and Tony can come out with a new single.
i love it on here how some people laugh and criticse the deals in the West like Kidd to the Mavs, Shaq to the Suns and possibly Artest to Nuggets etc but then the same people get excited when the Spurs sign Dleague scrubs or a has been PG from Memphis
Damn, I didn't realize I was so low on your list to begin withyou're moving up my list
dont like it? get the out.
It's a Spurs fans website and our team is the defending champions...what did you expect?i love it on here how some people laugh and criticse the deals in the West like Kidd to the Mavs, Shaq to the Suns and possibly Artest to Nuggets etc but then the same people get excited when the Spurs sign Dleague scrubs or a has been PG from Memphis
because the spurs are still better then anyteam in the westi love it on here how some people laugh and criticse the deals in the West like Kidd to the Mavs, Shaq to the Suns and possibly Artest to Nuggets etc but then the same people get excited when the Spurs sign Dleague scrubs or a has been PG from Memphis
and when that has been point guard they are still treading water with tp out
someone denver would be lucky to do without either ai or melo
few thoughts here. People forget some of the people we have gotten or pursued in the past. Less we forget Dennis Rodman Or maybe people recall us going after Sprewell. Pop was big on him. So Ron Artest is not out of reach, I just dont think Pop will pull the trigger on this one.
Artest is pretty much a lock to not have an exploding fiasco. This is his contract year and he knows it. He will behave more than ever if anything because if he acts up, he knows his chances of getting a pay raise/making it in this league are gone. If your the spurs you do this trade. What the future will be with Rons head you can predict all you want but trust me, the son of a will be a good little rental especially if that team is elite. Barry is old as plus hurt and Elson is just . If the spurs are in position to make this trade (granted the kings are willing to accept barry/elson/picks) and they dont pull the trigger, than they are just re ed unless of course it meant Mike Miller. These next few months is make or break for Ron $$$ wise and nba career wise and he knows it. He will play the most inspired ball while being on his best behavior these next 3-4 months.
Damn, I didn't realize I was so low on your list to begin with
you moved up from #7 to #3
better?
gee you guys are touchy
I said i 'love it' , in other words i think its hilarious coz it is the same on most team boards.
Heck i was excited about getting Chucky Atkins and look how that has turned out
settle down people.
Because this ain't NBA Live 2008. Number rule is you don't around with chemistry (or at least you don't make it worse without having the personnel to handle it).i love it on here how some people laugh and criticse the deals in the West like Kidd to the Mavs, Shaq to the Suns and possibly Artest to Nuggets etc but then the same people get excited when the Spurs sign Dleague scrubs or a has been PG from Memphis
