4 all the ron-ron lovers out there...
for all those that thought "tru-warrior" was our missing piece, looks like Artest isnt going to the warriors or anywhere else. am i the only one that hopes it stays that way?
"I am anxious to see what my future holds, [but] I like Sac," Artest wrote in an e-mail. "My entire focus is with Sac and winning a championship this year."oh and good luck with getting that chip with sac.

Nuggets
Posted: Sunday February 17, 2008 09:20AM ET
Tyronn Lue might not be long for Sacramento, as he has been pursued by Phoenix and Boston and could be used in any subsequent deals before Thursday's trade deadline. On that front, sources close to Denver said talks between the Kings and Nuggets about Ron Artest have recently restarted. The elements of a potential deal appear to be the same, with the Kings holding out for third-year small forward Linas Kleiza and likely requiring forward Eduardo Najera and his expiring contract.

Read a little about this yesterday...seems to be picking up steam. Camby and Artest on same team? Might be best defending duo in NBA!
I'd like to see artest spend rest of the season in sac personally.

Make it happen!
Our last couple of games have highlited our problems: we don't have a shut down defender who everybody can feed off of, and when we go cold shooting we end up falling in a hole.
Both of those problems can be ameliorated in this trade that really is two separate trades. Defense is contagious; if we got an Artest, everybody would get better defensively. Miller always seems to thrive in games against us because he likes the tempo and he gives another accurate shooting option. We don't lose our chemistry even though we add Artest (he's got friends here, winning creates chemistry, and we're getting rid of one person we know doesn't want to be here). We lose a bit of our future in Belli, POB, and Kosta but you have to give to get. The only downside IMO is it might make it slightly harder to retain AB and Monta, but if Artest opts out we'd only be five million above what we would have had keeping Marco and Kosta. If we don't sign someone like Barnes we could probably keep both Andris and Monta.

True
As far as the cap room though, trading Pietrus or O'Bryant for Miller would mean including a good portion of the TPE. This will end up saving Memphis a little over $8mil in salary cap. Sounds like though they are trying to package him with Brian Cardinal.

jackson/artest
While the negative incidents link Jackson with Artest, the positives establish a clear contrast: Jackson's teammates here, as in San Antonio, respect him as a player and also as a teammate, on and off the floor. Artest has never had that type of warm relationship: once the buzz about his play and about his latest chance for a fresh start wears off, it's back to the latest disconnected-from-reality statement he's made to the media, the give-him-space approach in the locker room, and plans for the next trade. Artest would never, ever be a captain under Nellie, because he simply doesn't have the people skills that Jackson has. Jackson obviously shows poor judgment in certain situations; Artest, like Latrell Sprewell and Terrell Owens, shows judgment that seems to come from another planet, consistently.
This is not to demean Artest or deny that he has his story and his reasons for being the way he is; it is, however, to show that Artest in no way would strengthen the Warriors as an inspirational leader, despite his outstanding skill and effort on defense. Jackson already fills the role of I'm-playing-D-every-minute, lead-by-example co-captain. If Iverson, Melo, and Artest equals implosion, think about Jackson and Baron and Artest. Think about Artest undermining the leadership that Baron and Jackson exert on the floor, sooner or later, by just being Ron Artest, however he got that way.

Chemistry
Futhermore, the warriors themselves have made comments about welcoming ron ron into the locker room. Granted this won't be a long term fit but i mean there is a good chance nellie only gonna be wrong for another year (if that?) so maybe it wouldn't hurt to get him if the cost isn't too high.
But i do think he'll mess up chemistry of the nuggets---they already seem to have trouble playing as a cohesive team (i mean for the talent they got on there they should be battling for first in west)...but at same time it can work and make them one of the teams to beat. Can you imagine having artest to guard the best perimeter player and camby as the last line of defense....

theyd be like golden-era raiders or something
idk but i like the idea of an indiana brawl reunion team with jax and artest, add bd, barnes and monta man we'd be bad, scrappy as hell man we'd have the leauge shakin scared for 2 years
artest knows hes gettin old and i think he'd change and embrace GS, like moss did with the patriots you know? he wouldnt be captain and he wouldnt want to be, but he fits the makeup man and hes what 6'8??
its a dream tho
davis
jackson at sg
harrington
artest
biedrins
with monta as 6th man on the year comin in for any one of them, plus barnes man thats a team, who would gaurd duncan tho, can artest body up duncan?

Artest the role model!
The Dubs team leaders are strong, outspoken and SJax is homies with Artest. IMO this is the only scenario in the NBA in which Ron thrives. Nothing wrong with a thug with a chip on his shoulder...it is a big part of our current identity. Remember how mean Barnes was in the playoffs last year. We intimidated the Mavs. That was as big a part of what happened in that series as was team chemistry
