Just heard a rumor that Artest could go to Miami for Antoine Walker. What a trade that would be! IMO it would make both teams MUCH better than they are now.
Maybe there could be a little competition in the east after all. :joy: :joy:

Artest tries to make amends
December 19
Indianapolis Star: "One week after his show of defiance, Ron Artest's attitude has shifted toward compliance. The Indiana Pacers forward expanded on his desire to remain with the team Sunday in a telephone interview, claiming he 'made a big mistake' by asking to be traded. Whether Artest can rebuild a bridge to the franchise remains to be seen, but he has begun the effort."

I heard this too but think that Donny Walsh has had enough of this guy. Despite that, he could really help Miami. I don't thing he could do as much in LA (the other rumored destination). Also adding Walker to Indiana, another scorer, would really help them.

I don't mean to rain on your parade...but I really don't see them makin' it this year....and before I'd ever start supporting them I'd have to start listening to "C"rap and slip/slop(or is it hip/hop) ....there isn't much about the Pistons that represents the NBA...past/present/future...just a bunch of thugs that happen to be competative at times.

O'Neal and the Pacers have been talking about their wayward teammate dating to Artest's problems with his temper and flagrant fouls in the 2002-3 season, when he was suspended for a total of 12 games. Artest's return from a 73-game suspension for instigating the brawl last year at the Palace of Auburn Hills was supposed to lift his team.
Instead, he was back in Indiana on Wednesday, while the Pacers' chief executive, Donnie Walsh, fielded trade offers. Pacers officials said they were encouraged by the initial response from interested teams, and Artest's agent, Mark Stevens, said Wednesday that a trade could take place by the weekend.
O'Neal said he had two candidates in mind: his former teammate and best friend, small forward Al Harrington, whom the Pacers traded to Atlanta in 2004, and Sacramento's Bonzi Wells, whom O'Neal said he liked for his defense over the Kings sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic.

Huh???? Naive generalization about this area. You really think we all listen to rap, hip-hop and are thugs? The "thugs" on this team have NEVER been in any legal trouble at all. Not one of these guys has had any problems off the court and they are all involved in significant charitable endeavors. These "thugs" are led by Joe Dumars, who has happens to have a sportsmanship award named after him.

You know, Walker had always had potential...but never quite made it to the level of play I felt he shopuld have. His problem is lack of defensive play. He also shoots the ball way to much. The guy doesn't have a complete game and is purely offensive. He has a tendency to ignore passing to the open guy and shooting the ball 30 plus times a game. Which is fine if you are Michael Jordan circa 1990's. But in this league today, shooting the ball that much can be detrimental to your team. Just ask the Lakers or 76ers. It may win you some ball games here and there...but won't get you passed that hump. I can see Walker hurting the Pacers program more than helping.
As for Artest...the guy is the Terrell Owens of the NBA. Enough said.

I remember when he played for Portland. As I recall, almost the entire team had problems with the law. They were actually called the Jailblazers back then.
