ESPN: We heard some reports close to the deadline that Phoenix also might have been interested in you, too. Did you hear anything like that?

Artest: That would have been sick.

...Yes Ron, it would have been sick.

Can you imagine this sick line up of:

PG: Steve Nash
SG: Raja Bell
SF: Ron Artes
PF: Amare Stoudimare
C: Shaquile Oneal
2 defensive stoppers who can shoot the 3 pointers!! SICK!! Then the bench:
Bench:
Leandro Barbosa
Grant Hill
Boris Diaw

WHAT STOP IT!?!?

I think all we had was the ATL pick and a TPE, but I read on the SAC board that PHX was trying to get SAC to take Diaw, which would obviously be a no go from SAC's side.

That makes sense, since adding Artest would've put them over the luxury cap.

Interesting, Coro wrote that the SUNS never had an interest in Artest. Now that is indeed sick.

No matter what, we need another wing player. To bad we traded JR for good o'l hard cash. NICE!

dbdynasty said we made an offer for artest, ill take that over coro

i believe it

imagine a front court of amare shaq artest? man, teams would hide in the locker room!

anyways, ron, if its so "sick" to come here, just sign a vet minimum deal with us in the offseason ;-)

With a starting lineup of

Nash
Bell
Artest
Stoudamire
Shaq

I concede that the Suns would have went undefeated the rest of the season....
