Rumored Ron Artest trade to Knicks

[hockeybeat]

SNY TV in NY reported that the Kings and Knicks are discussing a David Lee for Ron Artest trade.

If this comes true, having Stephon Marbury, Ron Artest, Zach Randolph, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and Eddie Curry on the same team might be the most perversely entertaining thing I will ever see. If a beat reporter doesn't write a book about that team, I will be outraged.

Another wonderful set of perfect chemistry players for Isiah.

Victor Frankenstein would be proud of this experiment.

Latrell Sprewell, Shawn Kemp and J.R. Rider are currently free agents.

Anarchy in the NBA.

And here I was, all excited the Nichols got traded to the Knicks so I can watch him play.

Now it's going to be the Ron Artest show.

SG Crawford
SF Artest
PF Randolph
C Curry

That team could definitely make it to the finals.......but Im guessing Isiah didn't take a chemistry class at Indiana.

Talent wise?
Hell yeah they can go to the finals. Don't forget, they play in the east. Hell, I'm pretty sure they could be a solid 6 or 7 seed in the west.

Of course, that's if they buckled down and played good team ball. Starbury bought into it last year and Artest is a very unselfish player. Let's see what everyone else will do.

Who passes the ball? Who sets a screen?

Who is the rational one on the team? Curry? Starbury?

No way does that team get to the Finals, East or no East.

Curry and Randolph play the same position and each need the ball to be effective, as does Crawford and Marbury; Ron-Ron will demand his touches or he'll pout and spout off in the papers.

This team is a car wreck waiting to happen. If they get Artest, it will be the costliest disaster since Waterworld.

Who needs passing and screens? The proposed 2007-08 Knicks won it all on Chucky's XBox.

LOL that is hilarious. This team would compete for the top lottery pick and then trade it for some more over priced head case veteran.

If Idiot Boy and I agree on something, maybe I need to re-think my position.

That team will be a nightmare of bad personalities, if this trade is for real. But Isaiah already has a mess on his hands. David Lee was one of the nicest things that team had going for it, but when he traded for Randolph, it left no place on the court for Lee. So I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to trade Lee. Obviously, Ron Artest is a bad idea for 1,000 reasons--the personalities already on the Knicks are bad enough, the problems waiting to happen when you bring Artest back home to NY, etc. But if the Knicks are going to upgrade one piece of their starting line-up by trading Lee, small forward is it. Marbury is set at PG. Crawford at SG. Randolph at PF. And Curry at C. Richardson at SF could be upgraded, and with the pieces they already have in place, they don't need yet another guy who scores at SF, so an Artest type of player, who will play hard defense and do the nitty-gritty stuff is actually a pretty ideal upgrade. Artest doesn't need the ball to be happy. The problem is that he might flip out at any time or decide to disappear from the team half way through the season. Isaiah is like the guy who is $30K in the hole and keeps going back to his bookie with bigger bets to try to dig himself out. This could get really ugly.

There are only two ways this could go:

1. Nuclear
2. Nuke-ular
