zinged basketballs, hard at the heads of teammates in the locker room
good old Ron.

EXACTLY...Thats a ing joke. There is no way the Spurs are going to get Artest for those two players...
Que Gee, cool name
Yes I'm sure.are you for sure about the 3 years? I thought this was his last year
-----has anyone seen the report earlier this morning on espn cold pizza about how an ABA team wants to trade some player with the last name of Gill who goes by "White Choclate" for Ron Artest, they know it's against the rules to do inter-league trades, but they're vouching for it and think "anything can happen"
just wondering if anyone else heard about this.
The only way I can see Artest on this team is if we give up Ginobili and Parker. With our big three AND him, it just wouldn't work-too many players would want a lot of touches. Why do we even need Artest? He ruins chemistry and has a bad at ude. I don't really think the majority of fans would appreciate him.
The only benefit I can see in acquiring Ron Artest would be for future seasons when Bruce Bowen is in the twilight of his career.
For this season, he serves little purpose. With the current lineup, the Spurs are going to win the Western Conference unless Tim Duncan gets hurt. Artest is not insurance for a Duncan injury. At best, he would be superfluous. At worst, he would disrupt team chemistry and spoil a potential le repeat.
People with mental issues don't think the same way the average person thinks. If you haven't interacted on a daily basis with people who struggle with these kinds of issues then you can't understand how radically different these people think, compared to the average person.
To say that Artest will respect Duncan although he has already demonstrated he didn't respect his teammates, coach, or the rest of the Pacers Organization just doesn't make any sense.
Kori posted an article that mentioned Artest was prescribed medication, which he doesn't take. This tends to be the case with many people who are prescribed meds to treat their condition. They are on them for awhile, see that they're better, then think they don't need them anymore and they will be ok. Generally, that is not the case.
From a business point of view, it just isn't worth the risk, IMHO.
Season's not even half over, avoid the jinx, stay humble.
He looks normal to me
YeahHe looks normal to me
Detroit fans deserve that treatment and worse, IMO. They are menaces. Why do you care about those ers? If I never hear "DEEEEETROIT BASKETBALLLLL" again it will be too son.
This might be a weird suggestion, but could we get him and include a mental examination as part of his physical? It may be without precedent, but it might be a way to take a look at him without necessarily committing to him.
Oh, yes, absolutely. A guy who was just watching a game he paid to see, rooting for his team, should certainly be attacked by a player rushing the stands, because his team is the Detriot Pistons.
Do you ever read what you post?
You get him on the Spurs and show him how to be a professional and I am telling you that he will be fine.
He is begging for a fresh start and a place to win.
So apparently he actually did get a formal psychiatrict evaluation (as opposed to what was claimed in an earlier post). I wonder what the diagnosis was.The Chicago Bulls have been there, tried that, after Artest upended 500-pound exercise machines in their facility, and zinged basketballs, hard at the heads of teammates in the locker room. The psychiatrist prescribed medications, which Artest refused to take.
Certianly there are lots of medications that could potentially hamper the performance of an NBA-level player. While it would probably be better for him as a person to be on meds, it might make him no longer a top-tier player.
As somebody posted, touches is the problem. Trading Beno + Oberto + Barry would still be a problem because you're left with TD, TP, Manu, Michael, Nick, Rasho, Bruce, Nazr and on top of that Artest. That roster is out of this world, but there are not enouhg touches for all those guys.
Do we have a credible black assistant coach to show him how to be professional?
The article I posted isn't the only one of its kind. Supposedly teams have gotten him to a psychiatrist several times and he has thrown his prescribed meds out repeatedly. He keeps saying that he loses his compe iveness on meds.
i don't know about Ron coming to the spurs.
that would mean they would trade one of our guys, and right now we should keep our team from last year and go for the le again.
it would take awhile for him to get used to the system, and right now that is the last thing the spurs need.
he should be put on an other team and try to give the team he goes to a chance to get somewhere, and he could be a starter not coming off the bench. they spurs right now are fine the way they are.
As tempting as it sounds, I like the Spurs the way they are now. Ron Artest in MY OPINION is too much of a risk. Things are working pretty good right now without him. I guess I am trying to say, "if it ain't broke, why fix it?"
Oh, yes, absolutely. A guy who was just watching a game he paid to see, rooting for his team, should certainly be attacked by a player rushing the stands, because his team is the Detriot Pistons.
Do you ever read what you post?
I think every team in the NBA should be allowed to designate one player to go into the stands at the Palace and beat up one unsuspecting Piston fan late in the 4th quarter.
It would be a big mistake to trade Bruce Bowen.
Ron Artest rumors are: he might be going to Toronto or the Hornets.
Danny Granger of Indiana looks like a good player.
And that's quite probably true. Not saying he's doing the right thing, but that may be the trade-off.
