Somebody just got better if this is true.

Especially since we only gave up Bobby Jackson, next years #1, and this years #1. Kinda alot, but was happy with the team, just needed one more integral piece.

B Jax comes home to the Kings!!!!

Yes, it's a good trade for a year for the Rockets, then Artest will do his usual whiny child shit and implode the Rockets. Good luck this year. There will be no 2010.

They gave up what? Kinda alot?

Where is Battier going to play?

Thumbs down at first glance.

The Rockets have a load of compliments to Yao & TMac, but no consistent 3rd threat. I love Battier, but he would disappear for stretches the last few years. Losing BJac hurts, but we'll keep checking out Aaron Brooks, whom I love, too. Sign Landry and Deke and we're good to go.


As for Artest being a dipshit? Yeah, hoping for a miracle there.

Ugh, I am done with this team with Artest on it. I will not put up with his kind of attitude on teams I like. That's one less sport I have to follow:-)

Wow, he was there what, 24 hours before he got into a fight with Yao?

Been gone awhile, so I gotta read some stuff. But I think it was more like that.


e: Why do people talk to the press? Especially if they're aren't happy with something? Looks like everything is cool now, but everything coulda been cooler sooner....... Time for everyone to shut it.

Why do people talk to the press? Because Ron Artest is a Class A idiot. He did this constantly in Sacramento. It's like he'd go out to dinner and overhear someone say "Ron's an idiot" (the guy Artest overhears is probably talking about his buddy at work, FWIW), and the next thing you know Artest is texting the local newspaper, ESPN, the New York Times and God knows who all else claiming he wants to be traded and hates Sacramento. And then the next day he'd say it was taken out of context and he was misquoted. That's exactly what happened with Yao. Artest flew off the handle and texted everyone he knew, bitching and complaining and at the same time bragging about how "ghetto" (his word) he is. The dude is a complete wack job.

Just wait until he starts jacking up three pointers with the game on the line when he's already gone 5-for-21 and McGrady's flashing to the baskeet for an easy dunk. I swear for every game Artest won for the Kings, he lost just as many.
