Is there any possibility we could have a shot at Artest?

Now this is something I'd love to see happen. And quite possible.


So let the Knicks trade for Artest and the Magic stay out of that.

Couple of weeks ago, I'd love to get Artest, but now, I don't think we need him. I rather we trade Hedo for a PF of equal value, if not, just keep Hedo.

If Otis can get Critt for Bogans, then trade something for a decent PF, then I would forget what happened with Lewis.
Fire Otis!

And I have a hard time seeing why David Lee would be better for us

Boarderline allstar for David Lee

I just dont see it


Well this team will never win any titles with Lewis as the PF. Plus can you imagine the damage Howard can do with David Lee starting next to him? Lee is not your protypical all-star but the sort of guy that makes a difference. He can give you a double double every night plus it's that sort of Kurt Rambis hustle he provides. Seems we'll continue to agree to disagree on this. Some believe that because this team won 52 games playing small ball that it's enough. I say look at Phoneix all thos eyears playing smallball and winning 55 plus but never getting far in the playoffs. Even this recent playoff series with Detroit, we got burned a couple of times cause when it counted we couldn't get the rebound.
