Successful Scenario
Due to New York and Indiana being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and Indiana had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

I would sweeten the pot by tossing a future #1 pick to get Artest and a legit 7'0 David Harrison ! So what do ya think ?

#13. David Harrison
Height: 7' 0"
Weight: 280 lbs.
Position: Center
College: Colorado
Born: 15th August, 1982
Experience: 1 Season


Not bad ! Only 23 yrs old and the Pacers didn't play him at all last year. There loss !

Why would Indy do it you ask ? Well Artest has been a major headach for them and with Miller they need another guard on their squad. Now you let Sweets play along side O'neal and you have a nice power package on both blocks !

C = O'neal
PF = Sweets
SF = Bender
SG = Jackson
PG = Crawford

And a future #1 pick to make Bird & Donnie happy !

like martin said, Artest is going to a west coast team.

Indy has had it with the guy. He is really good and can probably be the best SF in the game after KG but he just cannot keep his head above water. I am sure they are tired of depending on him. They drafted Granger to prepare against a Artest less season. They getting ready to trade him but they wouldnt make the mistake of trading him to an Eastern team. Also a big problem is: Isiah and Bird dont get along so Indy will not trade with NY.

Artest's not getting traded.



Any player can get traded. Artest just ISN'T.

what about this one:

dallas throws the full MLE at watson and moves

harris + daniels for artest

Oops, replace H2O with Ariza ! But you guys are probably right about the west coast team though !
