They are basically saying they don't know who yet but that Artest will be a Knick before the season starts

If this happens, I still want Q starting and Craw off the bench, unless one of them is heading to Sac.

I've been saying for a long time that Isiah needs to bring another lunatic to the team. I hope this is true, but it doesn't seem like much to go on.

I've been thinking this was imminent all offseason. If they can't announce it now its because Jones, Dickau or one of the players we just drafted are involved, if not all 3.

You know at this stage -- what's the point of having a team that's half-crazy? If this is true, I'm proud of Isiah for realizing that us New Yorkers demand 100% full-on lunacy.

You're right. At this point, let just go all in with personality disorders.

Look at it this way, even if the Knicks don't win more games, we will be entertained.

I see on RealGM it is speculated that Nate, Jefferies and Jones/Dickau for Artest.

That would be a no-brainer.

I think it's all just a ploy to draw more listeners to ESPN radio.

I know the Kings SL coaches were very high on Nate but I still don't see it.

Doesn't work under the cap. Only works if you drop Jefferies or add John Salmons, Shareef or Kenny Thomas

I know this much we may not win a title but no-one will wanna brawl w/us especcially if we sign 43yo Oak as player/asst. coach

Talent-wise, we would be a top-4 team in the East but putting your hopes on Artest remaining relatively sane is a losing proposition in my opinion. This sounds like last year's Francis trade, when the line was "It's so crazy, it just might work."

Who Won't Watch?

Guess what Basketball Jones, ratings for Knicks games suddenly go through the roof

Sample Headlines

Artest Record Label in Bankruptcy

Artest Partners With Marbury On New Line of Shoes, "WildandCrazybury's"

Randolph and Artest Spotted In LasVegas On Eve of Lakers Game

The Celtics went all in. This could be our way of going half way in because we wouldnt give up any huge real value and Artest can opt out next season

Yikes, don't like this deal if it goes down. I don’t want Artest on my team, not with Randolph already on it and Balkman ready on the wings.

But relative to cap considerations, if we are including Jeffries this may ultimately save us $s if Artest doesn't work out and we don't resign him.
