Indy asked for Josh Howard or Devin Harris!

At right price, Artest might be Mavs' championship key

Artest is Bruce Bowen with an offensive game. He could be the second option behind Dirk Nowitzki that the Mavs have so desperately needed.

(Old Saturday night live joke)

Artest is like a girl you meet in Hawaii, who is naked and you don't have a condom, and she says "do me" and you think, I shouldn't, but, she's hot....

If the Mavs want to win an NBA championship this season, it's a risk they have to take.

But only if the price is right.

"They [the Indiana Pacers] are asking the world," one Mavs official said after Wednesday night's 102-96 victory over Phoenix. "We're not going to mortgage our future for him."

The official company line has become almost a mantra when Artest's name comes up.

...

Forget about getting him for Jerry Stackhouse or Keith Van Horn. The Pacers, the Mavs official said, want to start with Josh Howard or Devin Harris, and work from there.

What kind of simile is that???
Come on doesn't match at all -.-
I perfer Trade Josh Howard since Dalls need Devin Harris as backup for Jason Terry or Daniel.

I didn't say that it's a good trade, but Indy official diid call Mavs about any possibility of picking up Ron Artest.  I just wanna tell what I heard from Dallas.

I like Howard and Harris. Id trade anyone but Dirk or Devin for him.  Hard to find 2nd year PGs  like Devin putting up 12 ppg on contenders who are actually ahead defensively than they are offensively. He is a special talent, easily the 2nd best talent on our team if not the most talented player, and as much as I like Josh the fact remains that he is like 5 months younger than Ron Artest so the upside factor really isn't a factor in this conversation, Josh is 25 and Ronnie is barely 26.

Howard is a very good defender as well. I thought that was common knowledge, so I pointed out his strength, statistically, which play right into the Mavs weaknesses. Offensive rebounding, guard outside shooting (exception Terry). I think Artest is a bit better than Howard, but Howard never asks for time off to release a music album, he doesn't fight spectators, he doesn't sit home a year, and then decides he wants to leave. He has no loyalty. What guarantee do the Mavs have Artest doesn't go crazy again?

The latest on the rumor mill is Mo Pete and a 1st. If that's true, then that's the best deal on the table and makes sense for Indy. some people think they should do it.

Sometime it takes some risk to win the champion like the bulls taking risk on Dennis Rodman. Mark Cuban is the owner in this league who makes some crazy stuff happen, so we just stay and watch!!

I didn't try to make your laugh, but ESPN analyst did quote this one because Artest is too hot to pass on, but too dangerous to touch. It's just like a bomb.

i agree everything u said except when u said that ron artest is only a bit better than josh howard...that, in my opinion, is a little ridiculous...haha..ron artest is an all-star, i would say. If only he is able to calm himself down sometimes, he would hv made the USA team last yr...but i doubt if howard will ever make it..not to say he is not a good player, but therez still a long way to go until he will reach artest's level...AND devin harris is just amazing...i  love his hops, his explosiveness, his....basically everything!
