The Goods Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 12. Ron Artest, SF, Rockets (UFA) His Game: A matchup nightmare because of his 3-point shooting, handle and physical ability to take contact and still score. Enlivened by defensive challenges, his strength, tenacity and deceptive agility -- even if it has diminished -- make him a rather aggravating cover guy. Right System: Half-court game with a calm, communicating coach adept at exploiting offensive mismatches. A team with a solid decision-making star who has enough game to command Artest's trust and respect. Wrong System: My-way-or-highway coach without a star bigger than Artest, one that demands its small forward make plays or one that has no chance at the playoffs. Best Fits: Lakers, Rockets, Celtics, Cavaliers http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/news/story?id=4293663&action=upsell&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnba%2finsider%2fnews%2fstory%3fid%3d4293663 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Artest is going where the money is IMO. And how are Lakers supposed to get him when they probably can't even get Odom and Ariza both lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah if everyone on that team agrees to a pay cut then yes, other wise no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 If he wants to win he'll take MLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 No one is going to take the MLE, not even Kidd. Artest can still get good money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
