spurs make a trade

This doesn't happen without them losing some serious cogs.
That's not true. They have an 8 million trade exception that can assume Artest's salary for this season, so now, all they have to do is worry about compensation. I'd hate it, but they have a mid-1st from Atlanta that could be enough.
Realistically, they can net him and not lose a single player on the roster.
I thought the BIG deal about the Shaq trade was that it would improve Chemistry?
Artest?
Now Kerr hasn't just bet the farm, he's put his kids college savings on the table, too.
Are we supposed to be scared of a team that will have 3/5th's NEW starters this year, and 40% with less than half a season to work it all out? It may work, but there is SO much speculation, what if's, etc. involved, it's stupid to discuss it.
Love it when teams make desparate decisions in trying to buy a championship
F' that.
We should try to get Artest somehow.

it worked for miami for one year
They move Marion at least partly for chemistry reasons and now they are talking about bringing in this loose cannon? He's been a headache for every team he ever played for.
The Shaq trade was a high risk/high reward proposition. I would view this as high risk/moderate reward at best.
When was the last time Artest caused drama?
Back in 2005 in Indiana?
LAST YEAR HE WAS SUSPENDED

yup...i havent heard jack about him all year.....i just think we need ane more addition to help out....elson/bonner are a bust, and should be what we trade with. .......for who? i dont know but its obvious we need to do something b4 the deadline.
Recently he's gone to the media saying things like, "The Kings would be better off without me." Just makes you wonder where his head's at.
Artest usually goes on good behaviour for a couple of months whenever he's on a new team. On paper alone, a line up of
Nash/Barbosa
Bell/Artest
Hill/Artest
Stoudamire
O'Neal
does look scary.
I think he's worth the risk. He can walk at the end of the year. And Pop is a drill sergeant.
Eventually, everyone has to grow up.
In a desperate move for a championship he worth the risk.
I'm desperate!
Yeah, the Suns basically have to make a move. They have no defense right now outside 6' and Bell, who the Spurs will torch in the playoffs annually.
Really, if you're gambling everything for one championship, why don't you make this move? If Shaq doesn't pan out, it won't matter anyway, because Nash only has a year or two left on those legs. You can only bet the farm once, and they've done that with Shaq.
Also, I would really like to see the Spurs make a move for more firepower (Miller) if they can get this done. Either way we should be fine if healthy, but I'd like to have some assurance that even if Barry or someone is hurt for the playoffs, we'll have a gunner who can drill shots.
How do you make a mental case grow up.Eventually, everyone has to grow up
No thanks, ill continue rooting for a team with class people.
You go root for someone else trick.
Ok, so why are teams around the league just giving thier players to other teams to help them beat the spurs? Is it a conspiracy against them or what?
I doubt that.
Sounds more like the Kings are giddy to get rid of a homicidal maniac.
Rumors have Elvis still alive too apparantly.
If only they could have done this deal last year. Can you imagine Ronny staying seated when Horry sent Nash to the floor?
Uncalled for, T Park.
You would learn to love Artest in the silver & black.
P.S.
You should add the cheerleader chic from "Heroes" to your posts. Wait... she just turned 18 and is legal. Nevermind.
