King's Wings
If you could trade for one of the King's Wings which one would you like to see as a Raptor and why?
Salmons
Artest
Garcia
Assume we have to give up the same value to get one a 2009 first top 15 protected and some wing back Joey or Juan.

but just last week, he went all crazy on matt harpring and got tossed

those two technicals were the first two technical fouls hes got since the days in sacramento. (and i dont even think he should have received them)
and i heard the fans were being really childish there.

Smitch is tough, I think he's be able to keep Artest in line, he's not a bad person so to speak, he's just very emotional about playing, I think that can work for or against him given the situation, but honestly you couldn't have a better team mate, someone that'll have your back no matter what. Artest brings a whole lot of heart into his game, sometimes it gets the better of him.

Yeah, Garcia makes the most sense. He'd be our best wing playmaker/defender, and is a 40% 3-point shooter already. He doesn't have huge upside, but he's a smart, talented player who would give us good minutes at the 2/3, and even take Dixon's minutes at the 1 were one of our PG's to go down.
He really exemplifies what BC looks for when he refers to his acquisitions as "basketball players" first.

And there was also him stating that he'd be better of elsewhere just today.

I'm hungry NOW....
Tho...Artest is probably the kinda player with a bad attitude who is getting mature...who if he gets influxed into the right mix of players and attitude could actually flourish...
It's not like our team is a a young team...it has good veteran players and a good young core who I feel could really rejuvenate Artest's career like Rasheed Wallace in detroit...
You will still get the technicals and the hard fouls...but Artest also understand Micthells concept in doing what it takes to get the win...Just needs a team/management that will keep him in control...
But I want some Wings now...just finished playing some basketball and i am starving...

Artest's game is exactly what the Raptors need, but that mind of his is something that could destroy this team... crazy sonofbich.
No way can Bosh do anything to tame Artest.
As for Smitch, I wouldn't be surprised if Smitch ends up getting into a fist fight with him, landing some hard shats to his ribs.
