Mid season as our players show what they've got we trade

Jamal Crawford
Michael Sweetney
Jerome Williams
SA #1

for
Ron Artest
Jonathan Bender

Indiana-
Wary of Ron's next blow up and possible suspension from the league, they get young combo guard in Crawford, a young postup player/rebounder in Sweets, and defensive spark plug off the bench in JYD. And they get a pick from us.

NY-
Moves some young talent and solid PF vet for a dire need which is a defensive stopper in the backcourt. Ron Ron guards the oppositions best player between the 2 and 3 and changes the game for us. Jonathan Bender is a project player who Larry can turn into a player if he has any juice in him.


I know many think Indiana and NY will never deal, but I think this deal makes sense.

Dude, if I had my preference I'd say it differently, but I'll be patient:


THE PACERS HAVE VERBALLY MADE IT CLEAR THAT ARTEST IS GOING NOWHERE



See, when I say that "atleast I'm a realistic Knick fan" ^ this is what I mean...

Lemme guess- THIS is why so many posters want you banned? LOL


Killa, that's a decent deal, but I'd more or less see a deal like that happening if Indy starts off REALLY bad.

^ no...they could get a much better deal. Pierce, Maggette, etc.

as for this deal...artest is a LOOSE CANNON.

so it's a HUGE gamble.

talentwise, i'd give up ANYBODY on our team for artest.
the risk is that he'll go postal any given second.
craw + sweetney + a pick are potentially 3 CORE players for the next 5-8 years.

i would have to pass based on the risk involved.

I seriously doubt SA's #1 is a core player.

I'm sorry you feel ornery that you're more or less wrong on this particular topic.


You know what. Just for the record, you're like the 3 billionth Knick fan to ask that question - Artest for who? The answer has come out the same everytime. We have nothing that could land Artest even if he was available.......which he's not.


You guys get on me b/c I'm realistic, but rude. Well, as far as I'm concerned, this response was as polite as it's gonna get.



Shazaam dude........Shazaam.

I'm wrong? Why because some 19 yo knick fan that is so immature that he got kicked off of teenage message board (realgm) told me so?

That is your problem. This is not about right or wrong because you or no one else here are Indian's GM and actually know what he would accept for Ron Ron. Its about opinions, and you obviously think this is not a good deal. Fine. However, when you start to be able to seperate what goes on in your head, from what happens and is feasible in the real world, you'll have reached a new stage of development. Good luck.

BTW, I don't feel ornery. Do you think you disagreeing with me has that power? LOL!

Who cares what teams tell the media about Artest or any player? What a GM tells the media is strictly comedy as far as I'm concerned.

Artest has stated he does not want to play in NYC

I have NEVER heard him say this or seen any reports indicating this
