Why would the Pistons want Ron Artest? They're already the best team in the East. Their success, just like the Spurs out West, is built on team chemistry. On your list of top team chemistry killers, Artest has to be at or near the top with the likes of Ruben Patterson, Latrell Spreewell, and Kobe Bryant.\n\nAlso, they just made a large investment in Tayshaun Prince, who is overacheiving because he's found a team where his skill set is an exact match for the role they need him to play. (This coming from a die-hard UK fan, BTW.) \n\nIf it ain't broke, don't fix it.

He wants publicity. Think about it. He hosted his own show "The Benefactor," what a dumb show that was. He constantly makes public appearences and he jumps out on the court during games. Did you see him after the Suns series? He was holding the trophy jumping around like he did something. All he did was buy the team. He is a huge distraction for the players and I think Avery is sick of him. But his latest antics, I think he realized that the Mavs were done after game 5 so he said the NBA was rigged and got himself in the media of course....Tomorrow he'll stand outside of David Stern's houe with a sign saying that the NBA is Unfair.

I hate Shaq. He is so over rated. You would think after being in the league as long as he has you would possibly be able to make free throws. He fouls like you said every time he backs some down in the paint. I consider him a turd that comes out of my ass with arms and legs. I wish someone would pull a Nancy Kerrigan on his on him. I'm a huge Kobe, and Artest fan because they play defense as well as put up points. Yea they have had their share of incidents but they play are complete players!

No way man, Kristic has been playing really good lately, and Ron Artest has completely turned the Kings around.  Josh Howard, is also like one of the best young players in the league and I don't have much respect for any of the guys you would be getting.

Maybe that forearm was an accident.  Or Artest is just being a jack*ss again.  You have to realize that without Artest, Sacramento probably wouldn't have made it into the playoffs in the first place.  He acts like a dummy sometimes, but at least he's trying to change (in my opinion).  He hadn't done crap for almost a year, and he is a big team contributor.  A lot of major sports stars act stupid like Bode Miller or the other stars who get arrested, drunk, or just plain don't work their butts off.  I think Sacramento has to take the crappiness with the contribution that Artest has made.  Eventually it was going to come, but at least they're in the playoffs and have some chance.  (Not like they were going to beat San Antonio in the first place)

I dont know. Why, what did he do.

Of course he will - famous people only get more attention when they do bad things. Ron Artest, Paris Hilton, Bill Clinton, etc.

No. He was for a time a part owner of the Wizards, but was required to give up his ownership stake when he, rather foolishly, came out of retirement to play for them. (The NBA does not allow player/owners due to the conflict of interest between labor and management.)

I would have to say he just got worn out and beat up.  If he had continued to play like he did against the Suns it would have been a sweep.  But I think he just got tired and probably a little nervous.

He didn't keep his promise Wade did all by himself. What game were you watching probably the same one Shaq was watching from the Bench! Go D. Wade! Shaq wouldn't even let Wade talk about his MVP trophy to Steven A. You should be thanking Wade for fulfilling Shaqs promise!

with artest on his way out of indiana, stephen jackson now becomes the #2 scoring option on the pacers. smith is the 3rd option at best with the emergence of paul and west. jackson plays 7 more mpg than smith and that's bound to go up slightly once artest gets traded, along with (hopefully) other categories. interestingly enough, basketballmonster.com rates a trade of the 2 dead even

Lebron James at the end was just playing around with Gilbet Arenas's Head. I don't think anything happened between them because I think the pressure at the end got to Gilbert and he started to feel nervous. I do know though that Gilbert's good in the clutch after that 3-pointer he made to send the game to overtime. But at the end of the game he was tired and was under pressure with making those free throws. So that's why I think he missed them.

His numbers weren't all that staggering so no, but i still think the Kings lost in the deal gaining Artest.  he may not cause problems this year, but then again, neither did T.O. his first year in Philly.
