yeah, we saw that
That would be cleared by Pop when Pop sits with Artest before he signs. Pop is good at setting expectations and straight forward. So I do not think this is going to matter.
In the past, Finley, Robinson (big dog) were men in their teams..Big Dog, Ray Allen and Sam fight in press, locker room and everywhere.. Look how big dog was when he came to Spurs...
Ron Artest is on record as saying that if any coach ever let him play "his game" that he'd average 50 points and 20 rebounds. Calling him a loon is an insult to loons all around the world.
If the Spurs wouldn't trade Steve Smith's rotting corpse for Artest, they surely aren't going to trade for him now that his baggage weighs about ten times as much.
It would make losing games more interesting.
Not to mention he gets the fans involved.
Artest says he will opt out after this season. That means 27 other teams are gunning for him.
I doubt that many (27) are interested. NBA general managers deal in the real world of salaries and locker room issues, not the make believe "what if" world of the fans. I can name you three teams that will have absolutely no interest: Chicago, Indy, and Sacto.
detroit would probly not take him either
artest wants to go to New York.
And we all know how that is working out
As a St. John's and "balla" fan, I have long coveted Ron Artest for the Spurs.
He is Bruce Bowen with the benefit of an offensive skill set.
Is it necessary to put the devil at the end of all your posts?As a St. John's and "balla" fan, I have long coveted Ron Artest for the Spurs.
He is Bruce Bowen with the benefit of an offensive skill set.
Yes.
His brother Daniel is available. He could be the 6'5" 270 pound center we have been waiting for!
There is no better player on the market next year than Ron, no matter how you try to spin it.
FIFYAs a St. John's and "balla" fan, I have long coveted Ron Artest for the Spurs.
He is Bruce Bowen with the benefit of an offensive skill set, minus the brain.
Is Artest nuts?
Sure.
But maybe drill sergeant Pop and a structured, winning environment is what he needs.
I don't know how the Spurs would afford him. That's the real issue.
The environment has nothing to do with it. He has a chemical imbalance of the brain which would exist in a yoga class, a gulag, or on a basketball team. He needs meds, not guidance, but he refuses to take them.Is Artest nuts?
Sure.

No No
No No
the dude has the craziest feet ever. i dunno if they are webbed feet or WHAT thats probably why hes so good defensively
Kings forward Ron Artest says his time in Sacramento has been as enjoyable as any he has spent in the NBA. Artest also says, though, that as he has looked around recently, he feels he won't be with the Kings much longer. "I look around our team, and I see the emerging young stars, and I don't get the sense that I'm going to be around," said Artest, who recently said he plans to opt out of his contract during the offseason."
The West is getting stronger, Lakers, and Dallas are making some big changes, and I say its time for the Spurs to get stronger also. We looked good last year but all the top teams in the West looked good also last year, but the difference is that they are getting healthier and stronger; the Spurs can’t go the distance with some of the same old horses.
Its time to make a push, a big push for Ron Artest.
Udoka's playing Artest'esque defense without the head case issues.
I'd stick with him.
If I had to handicap it....
80% chance the Spurs make a trade.
1% chance that trade includes Ron Artest for any and all reasons listed.
