I dont want to base my team on a guy who with one more blow up is done.
if it was a sprewell deal, I would do it. thats pretty much it. there is no difference in talent level between sprewell in his prime and Artest, in fact Sprewell was probably the better player.
ooohhhh, I don't agree here. Ron Artest is probably the best mna to man defender in the league at his position. I don't think you could ever say that about Spreewell. Spree's offensive game was more developed, but give ron ron a second.
Also Ron isn't in his prime yet, he is still peaking.
Im just telling you like this, Sprewell at the same age was a better player. not only was he a great offensive player who was a good passer and rebounder from the 2, he was a tough nosed 2 defender and was always high in the league in steals. I mean he was 1st TEAM all NBA at 23, Ron has not been close to that.
When you are saying Id give up a 7pick Tim Thomas and Mike Sweetney for a VERY similar scenario in which we gave up John Starks, Chris Mills and Terry Cummings, you sound foolish[nothing personal]. You are not discounting his problems at all here, and that is major.
Sprewell was the better player and atleast EVEN, but not really spree was better--yet in this case you want to give them 22 year old Sweetney pick 7 AND Tim Thomas, sorry but your are crazy legs!
