I wonder if Artest will even bother with coming back next year. He was already talking about taking time off and even retiring before this, maybe now he'll just say screw it and go away.
You mean the way Pop got equal value for Rodman in 1996? If anyone will take Artest, it certainly won't be for equal value -- there's a nuisance factor built into a transaction like that.Well Bird most certainly is getting anything of value back for Artest if someone is stupid enough to do it.
I can't imagine the Pacers will get the benefit of a bad season (should that follow) by also getting a lottery pick. Then again, they DO play in the East and even a bad 20-25 games might not sink them entirely from playoff participation. I have to say that the Pacers would be about the scariest #8 seed in the history of the NBA.

Never mind it's on nba.com now.
I just want to go on record as saying I agree with Stern's decisions and applaud him for the firm and courageous stand he is taking in this whole matter.
Ron Artest is the Mike Tyson of pro basketball. Ban him for life and be done with it. (See also.....Pete Rose ). Artest makes Rose look like a saint. That dude's gonna kill somebody before it's over with.
I don't care about Ron Ron....Steve Nash dropped another 18 dimes....damn
Hey Alvarez, when you manage to express yourself in a manner which exceeds the 4th grade level then perhaps you will be worthy of any further attention.
You should probably tell him in a thread in which he posted.
Uh he posted in this thread.
My fault. Thought I only saw this page of posts.
*Smacks self*
Well, Ron has that time off he wanted now!
i dont agree on banning him for life, i agree with the punishment he got...
I wouldn't mind it though, Artest is a snobby y ass BEOTch who is always looking for excuses to go and start a fight. He'll find any oppurtunity possible to make it look like he had a reason to start somethin.
I dont care, i don't think Artest is gonna be good next season, i dont think he wants to waita year to play again.
I think that he might quit the NBA and continue his crapppy Rap dreams, and fail at that too.
artest = re
Seriously now, did you just edit your post from a reply in the Duncan iPod thread or is my look at the forum going screwy?Well, Ron has that time off he wanted now!
It's been doing weird things to me, too....but I was pretty sure it was all in my head...
I think the penalties are just, and Wallace's too. He did a lot more to perpetuate the brawl than just a retaliating shove.
What an awful waste of talent, and I feel bad for their fans.
no Blaze, I edited it. I put it in the wrong thread.
Thanks for not letting me believe I'm going crazy.
Oh, so it is all still in my head.
not as far as you know!
The brawl that I saw had many more fans doing stuff which was not right. And the fact Artest and SJax (the S stands for Stupid) rushed to the stands to start thier personal fight with two Piston fans, does not give the two other Piston fans the right to walk on the floor looking for trouble. And it certainly doesn't excuse the dozens of other fans throughing beer, popcorn and every kind of debris to the Pacer players as they left the court (not to mention the chair that was criminally thrown to a group of people).
Only two or three Piston fans did anything wrong. When the players run into the stands, they are free game.
I would not mind one of two games with no Piston fans in the stands.
Tinsley should have got games off for trying to be a hero with a dustpan.
Moron.
I do not agree with stern hammering artest for the rest of the season and they should've given wallace the same number of games they gave J.O. and or Jax. Artest deserved at least 30 tops maybe a little more, but 73 (rest of the season) no way.
Please tell me how you justify Wallace getting 20-30 games when he didn't assault any fans or go up into the stands.
It all started with his shove of artest...period.
No. The pushing and jawing on the court started because of Wallace. Last I checked, Wallace didn't toss the cup.
And why should Wallace be responsible for the actions of 3 adults who made their own decisions a minute after the initial shove took place?
It started with Ron Artest not being mentally stable. Poor pooh.
