That would leave us with only Z, Andy and Dru as legitimate contributors on the frontcourt.
Come on, OC, those are the only legitimate contributors in the front court RIGHT NOW.

^I'd rather keep this deal. We're not losing any core players and Memphis gets a ton of expiring contracts. Plus, who really contributes out of those 3big men you just mentioned?
In all likelihood a deal involving Artest would also involve Gooden, so you'd have to change that lineup there ;-)

If that Cleveland/Memphis deal goes through, Stern better screw them just like he did the C's and not allow them to get that #1 pick. Maybe drop them to #4or 5 because that team would be a downright disgrace to the L.

C'mon Clippers, make the Miller deal happen. If any team in the league needs some more consistent outside shooting, its the Clippers. However,considering the way things have been going this season, they'll be giving up a lottery pick if they give up an '08 draft pick. Maybe Memphis will takean '09 pick.

i would not trade odom for butler. odom is much more valuable in the west than butler is...

The Magic might have a shot at getting someone like reserve power forward Brian Skinner of Phoenix, which recently acquired O'Neal. The Suns are looking for another guard, which the Magic have in Redick. Orlando Sentinel
why in thee blue hell would the suns want to trade brian skinner? they need guards? what the hell?

nuggets desperately need artest!to be a champions this season!

Yes. The Nuggets would be trading for a perimeter defender because they need a shooter.
Artest is a cancer and headcase, but he still plays defense better than 99% of the league.

My dudes, according to David Aldridge on NBATV, Ron Artest might be heading to Houston.
One of the dealbreakers is the inclusion of Aaron Brooks.
Stay tuned!

Oh and if the Lakers can get back Butler for Odom, let's just save everybody time and give them the chip now.
I apologize, I was incorrect, Artest has been in the playoffs 4 times, first round and out 3 of those, and a nice run in the 03-04 season with JO, and Reggieleading the way. Teams need to get him fast if he's available.
And if the deal breaker for getting Artest (Mr in demand himself) is whether or not to include AARON BROOKS, that says a lot right there.

trading for butler would be a response to the kobe injury, like gasol was for bynums injury.

The thing is though, I don't know the details and I don't even know if Ron would sign an extension.
If the Rockets are giving up Battier + Brooks, then I could see why they'd be hesitant.
Skip is garbage. James is garbage. Francis's career is RIP.
Aaron Brooks has a lot of potential.

Plus without Brooks, that means Rafer would have to play like 40 mins a game, since the Rockets don't really have a backup PG.
Do it anyway, as long as we're not giving up Shane.

ya but would you guys rather have Butler or Gasol? If Mitch didn't trade Butler, LA might not have Gasol now... You guys need Gasol more becauseyou already have Kobe and Gasol is a big man, which is needed in the West...Originally Posted by TH0MAS CR0WN
