about some of the artest trade rumors

artest supposedly realized he spoke too soon(surprise! it's ron artest!) and now wants back. problem is, donnie walsh won't let him play, even if he does take him back. that would(if pacers decide to keep artest) the 2nd straight season that artest's season was cut short.

get this; out of the 30 nba teams, 20 want artest and have hit indy's phoneline. (let's count the ones which don't; lesse; detroit, san antonio, MAYBE dallas, MAYBE suns. from there, i'm pretty much stuck.)

and since indy doesn't look like they're gonna get any good packages from any eastern conference teams(the last thing they want to do is turn an eastern conference pretender to a contender and then end up shafting themselves), so sorry ron, if you're getting traded, you're going west. (maybe that's why he pulled back; he's probably going to a low team...)

houston looks better.

so do the lakers *cringe* then again, phil jackson's phil jackson.

and i hope artest does NOT go to the lakers.

the artest deals remind me a lot of T.O. everybody wants an all-star that pushes their team from mediocre to great. everybody thinks it's worth the sacrifice. difference is, even the crap teams in the nfl now don't want T.O. whereas the ppl in the nba have yet to learn. although artest isn't as much of a troublemaker compared to T.O., you still have to admit, like T.O., he seems to talk way before he thinks.
