Yeah all he did was single handedly carry them with T-Hurt out and Yaouch battling his knick knack injuries.kevin_405 wrote:If i were Artest i would be upset after all he did for Houston all they offered was a 1 year contract..

He is crazy. If he thinks not taking a shot is going to help the team win, he's crazier than I thought. And selfish, because he's throwing team basketball out the window to prove some ill advised point that is not even real. Houston did what they had to do, just as the Lakers did with Ariza, they didn't do Artest any dirtier than we did Ariza. To say he's going to pass up and open lay up or shot just to get back at them? Scares me, he's crazy, he's Marbury Crazy.

don't take his words so seriously. as lakers fans, we are going to have to get used to artest talking out of his ass. no one should actually think he's going to pass up a layup, or even an open shot.
Dexmor wrote:Yeah but he didn't want to stay there. Plus why be mad at them now. And look if they offered big money he might have taken it and regretted it and the Rockets seem to be cursed.

It's not because of his talent that Houston didn't offer a fair market contract for him.
It's because he can be so embarrassing to an owner, and he's almost impossible to rely on. I mean, in the playoffs, he allegedly almost missed a game, and ended up on the owners bus in his underwear.
It's hard for an owner to commit 5 years and the full MLE to a guy that's hopped on your bus with all your sponsors and employees in just boxer shorts.
