    Properly medicated?
    Or, "honeymooner period" before meltdown, altho a half season "honeymooner" would be much more realistic, ie last season with the Kings. And we would want that to be the latter half, not the 1st half.

    I'm guessing the Kings will want him to stay on the roster if for nothing else so they can get return for him in a trade. As opposed to outright cut.

    I had in mind picking him up for zippo, after he was potentially cut from the Kings. No trade.

    No way the organization touches this guy. He's a nightmare off the court...

    I'd take Stephen Jackson's gun-toting ass before Artest. Dude is not worth the risk.

    He will meltdown the next place he goes and the Spurs know that and that is why he won't be melting down here in 07/08.

    No way we get Artest. The only good situation is where you have him for a half year and then waive or trade him before he melts down.

    Finley would miss the slap attempts.
    Fabs kept trying to miss the dog piles in the backyard but he couldn't jump high enough to get over them.

    It's just a question, Pork.
    Last half of 2006 he did just fine for the Kings.

    Thus i started off with "properly medicated" and as a FA for 900K with plenty of cut provisions in the contract. Minimilize any potential damage.
    Myself, the 2nd half of the year plan is the only one worth considering.

    rodman did this off the court as well
    but at least he gave you 16 reboards a game and D that was tops in the league


    artest? not so much
    Rodman was not a criminal off the court. He was a flamboyant, cross-dressing freakshow. A publicists dream and simultanous nightmare. Rodman was alot of things, but he was not a criminal.

    The risk is to the chemistry of the team, not so much the points and rebounds.

    Just say no.

    He's proven himself to be bad news off the court. He doesn't do enough on the court to outwiegh that. (I don't know if anything can outweigh domestic violence). I can't imagine that he could fit in the Spurs locker room. The Spurs have never been known for ego, to me they are the definition of "team". If a player can't offer the team chemistry on and off the court he can't play for the Spurs.

    your finley comments are pathetic and uncalled for.

    the rest of it is your same inane mindless drivel that you typically pontificate.

    ing ass.

    No thanks, he has a great talent but will likely follow the Alvin Robertson route.

    Don't compare psychologically ill people (who benefit from medication) to Ron Artest, it is an insult to those unfortunate people. The problem with Ron Artest is his CHARACTER, not some chemical imbalance in his brain.

    I think his point was that he has bad character, and bad character is not the same as Bipolar. bad Character is not treatable by medicine.

    He's a s bag. If the Spurs acquire Artest I'm becoming a Mavericks fan. If I have to root for thugs, I might as well root for Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse, since they're local.
