If the deal is set to come true, the Rox will look like a formible team to be watching out for in the Western Conference. Not only they improve defenisvely, they add another offensive weapon in Artest. As long as no crucial injuries don't hit the Rox to hard. They might get out of the first round for a change.

That seems like a good trade for both sides.......Artest will bring some additional toughness to a team that is not very tough.

I wonder if Battier may be available??? Could there be a Memphis Grizzlie reunion in his future?

I'd love to see Shane headed back this way, but it's not likely. They're already talking about being able to have Ron and Shane on the court at the same time when lock down defense is needed.

If I'm the Rox, that's what I would do. Nothing more nerve racking that havin two players known for playin tough defense on the floor at the same time.
