Do you think Houston will look to make other deals now that they have Artest?

Question

Now that they have Artest do you think they will look to solidify their pf position by perhaps trading Battier since his role will be more limited due to Artest? It is a thought.

Any other trades you could picture that would help them?

Answer 1

They need a better point guard.

They could do something where Battier ends up elsewhere and Chauncey Billups ends up in Houston.

I wish Dallas would have gone after Artest a bit more.

Answer 2

I think with Aldeman's system being familiar to Artest, he might put Artest anywhere he wants.

I think their lineup might look like this:

C:Yao

PF: Artest

SF:Battier

SG:McGrady

PG: Alston

They should be awesome next year.

Answer 3

Unless Ron has taken on a whole new and much more positive attitude, they just may need to look at a deal that would trade him for an even better player!

Answer 4

I don't think there's much they can do.  Any team that made to the playoff want to make minor tweak to their team and not major overhaul.  It's just too much risk to overhaul your team.

Answer 5

i think so

Answer 6

I would go after a pg, I think that is their weakest spot...Try and get Billups, They would be solid with him...Not sure what their line up will look like as of now....They might try Battier at the 4, and bring Scola off the bench...

Answer 7

who knows but francis better do good .

Answer 8
