He didn't say that. He said he wanted more touches and didn't like playing for Carlisle.players could be fighting in pacer land and he wants out of there
There's no way the Spurs would be able to afford him when his contract is up during summer of '07. Plus, I can't see R.C. and Pop jepoardizing team chemistry this way.
Yo, I'll be fightin' in the Palace soon. Mick always said ta me; if a bum wants to come at ya from da stands; just stick and move; side ta side, ya know like a windshield wipa. That's what Mick always said ta me.

I would not believe everything a player says publically
he may have his reasons why he does not like carlisle
oneal wanted thomas not rick
what players say privately are more likely to be true
Sure, I will let his actions speak for him:I would not believe everything a player says publically
1) Attacking fans.
2) Quitting.
Not sure which is worse.
KoMe needs to stay his selfish butt over there in LA.
People thought Van Exel is mental too. Mad Max went into the stands too. 87% of the palace crowd is mental, on medication and needs to be beaten to a pulp by NBA players. Stephen Jackson, Ron artest and Jermaine O Neal should have been rewarded.
Did anyone actually hear this rumor besides Ice? It's not on any other boards.
It was Casper, and he didn't even say which show it was. Flimsy rumor at best.
My bad - Ghost, rather. For a station as big as WFAN, you'd think the rumor would be somewhere else.
not even bull trade of the year material
Mihm, Odom for J ONeal, Artest
and
B Wallace, R Wallace for Garnett are much more laughable
I'd a brick if this happened
This shouldn't even be compared to the Rodman trade.
First of all Brent Barry is and virtually worthless, Fabrico is pretty ty too.
Second Artest is arguably the best perimeter defender in the game, now imagine him workin' within the best defensive system in the game, a system where sub par defenders are turned into quality defensive minded players.
Third it's not like we would be depending on Artest and hoping he pans out, if he doesn't he can ride the pine till we can get rid of him. With a healthy Ginobilli, Finley, Beno and Van Excel on the bench Barry is totally tradeable.
Fourth this is a chance to get a top 20 player for literly nothing, and a prominent replacement for Bowen. Artest is like Lebron James with Bruce's defensive skills.
Fifth Artest will always have some kind of trade value, there is always going to be a team that shows interest. If neeed be we can flip him and recoop our losses, really I don't see much risk here....
artest is in no way like lebron james
I should have specified, im referring to his frame and athletic abilityartest is in no way like lebron james
to get artest, barry is gone and one of the centers are gone too
I can bet my house and everything in it Artest won't come to Spurs.
thank God
Y'all are nuts. Many here on this site have run around with a virtual hard on for Stephen Jackson since his tenure with the Spurs, and he's arguably every bit the head case that Artest is.
, Artest has called Duncan out as a pimp, having mad game. Dude wants to win. It's not the touches, he's looking for a fresh start.
In a family environment like the Spurs he would be fine. Right now he's got two punk ass es as teammates in JO'Neal and Buckets. Too many thugs for one team.
With the family structure in place in the Spurs organization, they could bring him in and make him a part of it and nurture him. Let Bowen be his mentor and you have the most dynamic perimeter defense in the league.
Think about it like football - Artest + Bowen would give the Spurs two cover corners, letting the rest of the team really ratchet things up defensively. We have a couple of guys who are difficult covers for Bowen that Artest would be great at (guys like Wade and Dirk).
People seem to forget this team, if not for the penultimate clutchness of Robert Horry, would have lost to the Pistons last year. In case you hadn't noticed, Detroit is killing people while the Spurs are eeking out wins.
You get Artest and you suddenly can shut down Rip and Chauncey with Bruce and Ron, and then the Pistons don't have anyone to do the lifting at the offensive end to score enough for Detroit.
I suspect our offering is some combination of Nazr/Rasho (probably Nazr) along with one of Barry/Oberto. Indy needs some inside muscle with injuries plaguing their front line, and they also need perimeter scoring. Nazr + Barry would be the perfect combination, throw in Oberto to put the deal over the top if Indy has a hard on for the guy.
Its December.Detroit is killing people while the Spurs are eeking out wins
Who cares.
Other than that, your right on.
Aggie is onboard the Bring Artest to SA bandwagon.
Jump on now!
Artest wouldn't fit in SA, he's always been 'me' first in Indiana, he got pissed because people were giving JO MVP nominations, but not him; he even claimed to be the MVP of the league two years ago. Artest wants to score and pad his stats, something he can't do here because even the best player in the league is having trouble averaging over 20 points a game because of the depth we have here. Artest would basically take shots away from our big three and away from Finley, NVE, Barry, Horry, Rasho, Nazr etc,
If Artest were in SA, I could see him averaging 18 PPG.
LOL Artest is as good as LBJ in one place: His own melon head.
Spurs are not about to ruin team chemistry with some dude that is proven to loose his cool or freak out to make a "rap cd". etc....
The rest of the league does not get it... It's about Sportsmanship and heart.. not just skill...
Artest can play ball.. but he's no better than your average HEB bag boy as far as contributing to society... if anything he's dumber than your average 5th grader.
UH DUH My name artest .. what you want fight.. let's go... wait i am gonna rap.. you like? uhh.. huh huh..
Yawn.
I guess Stephen jackson was mentally "stable" when he was with the Spurs too huh?
Spurs just need to get healthy and they can take care of Detroit. Miami can be there too.
