According to a report from ESPN's Bill Simmons, the Houston Rockets attempted to cover up much of Ron Artest's unique behavior during the 2008-09 season.

Artest nearly missed Game 7 of their series against the Lakers.

Artest missed the first two team buses (the ones for players, coaches and team personnel) from Houston's hotel to the Staples Center and barely made the third and final bus, which was reserved for business staff, sponsors and friends of the team. These stunned people watched Artest sprint to the bus right before it left, jump on and take one of the remaining seats ... yes, wearing only his underwear. Owner Leslie Alexander happened to be sitting on the bus and witnessed the whole thing. And you wonder why the Houston Rockets didn't make any effort whatsoever to bring back Artest.

Simmons writes that Artest made a habit of walking around in public in his underwear during his Houston tenure.

Rockets do in a second. Why would LA? To pay Artest 17M a year?

Odom is the punk in all of this just like Hedo was. Way to screw up a good thing.

That trade is totally ridiculous. How can you include Gallo after only one year???

I like the +79 wins part.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Greg Oden? To do what? Suck and whine that he's hurt? We fail right there.

Truthfully however...we do have 50M expirings and several intriguing kids and a 2012 pick to offer up.

Fantasy wise we could trade for Bosh, Wade, and LeBron all at once.

So, until the February 2010 deadline passes, making our 50M expirings - actual contracts that WILL expire - we're still in the ISIAH game of recycling!

If that is true, then I can't even think of a comment. I mean WTF. That is just crazy.

Lakers should win at least 1 championship in the next 2 years, if not both. Its the perfect team for Ron Ron.
