More Ron Artest to Detroit rumors!!?

Question

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200880724090

i think it will happen, Ron Artest and Kenny Thomas and a draft pick for Tayshaun Prince and a draft pick

thoughts?

Answer 1

He would fit in well there

Answer 2

I'd like it better without throwing in that draft pick, the Kings aren't going to compete this year very much unless a big move is made and probably go to the lottery so I'd just take another player and Prince and leave it at that so we can build for the future.

Answer 3

NOPE, Not gonna happen. Don't you remember in 2004 it was a huge brawl. Pacers (AT) Detroit. I think the fans in detroit won't respect him because he was punching and hiting everyone in that brawl. Trust me, Most of the playing in Detroit that was in Detroit is still playing for them. Not gonna Happen.

Answer 4

not bad but i wish prince could go to the jazz

Answer 5

I would like to say that I think Prince is a great player but he is underrated. I think this is a good trade, my dad would be very sad to see Prince get traded(his favortie player is Prince) but I think its a good trade. Pistons are all about defence and Artest got that defence. Pistons have won more Defensive Player of the Year awards than any other team(Dennis Rodman-2,Ben Wallace-4) and Ron Artest already won DPOTY award so he can win again and make the record 7. I think its a great trade. Also Prince would play better in Kings  possibly average 20+ point a game. He would also return to his hometown where he went to high school. But I do not agree with ur trade, Artest averages 20+ points a game so this trade would work better http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/tr...

because Pistons don't have salary cap space for Thomas and because Pistond don't need him. Also Pistons would add some draft picks.

Answer 6

Prince for Ron benfiets both teams but there no use for Kenny in the trade instead detroit should give up someone

Answer 7

He is obviously a great player and Detroit may need a slight shake-up to get them to the next level anyway. They haven't gotten to the finals since losing Ben Wallace who brought passion and intensity which Artest will bring. If he controls his craziness he could be like a kg type defensive anchor for the pistons and help them offensively a bit more than Prince. The kings know Artest wants out and plus they get rid of Kenny Thomas so a big plus.

Furthermore, as a Laker's fan I'm not sure Ron Artest would be the answer. Let's just try Odom at sf where he was at his best in Miami.
