Not to mention I completely agree with you that he's gonna kick T-Mac in the ass when he tries to start pouting. T-Mac definitely won't sit back and let CP take the limelight like that.<BR/><BR/>As for the Artest "issues," he's a despicable human being if all the allegations are fully true, but professional sports are a BUSINESS, not a good samaritan convention. <BR/><BR/>This awesome deal should continue the trend of demonstrating InJustice's idiocy, though i wouldn't put it past him to invite Artest to a Pitbulls & Prostitutes party just to prove himself right.TexanTerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149876541744682540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557962466145687400.post-75113599121787202552008-07-30T08:48:00.000-05:002008-07-30T08:48:00.000-05:00I wouldn't go so far as to say it's just because h...I wouldn't go so far as to say it's just because he isn't a "nice guy". The guy is a wife beater. Animal cruelty to go along as well. It's not like he treats the media bad, or he doesn't sign autographs or something, or is just a jerk. He has serious issues. <BR/><BR/>That being said, Richard Justice has no room to talk about being in favor of trades for people with "good moral character", especially since he liked the Miguel Tejada trade. Yeah the steroid using guy who also lied about his age to get signed by a MLB team. It's not as bad as beating your wife and animal neglect, but he's no saint either. Justice is just an idiot. <BR/><BR/>From a basketball standpoint, it's a good trade. Is there risk? Yes. I really believe that Donte Green is going to be a very good player one day. I hate to see him go, but for Ron Artest I wouldn't hesitate. Plus, I don't think Aaron Brooks can hold the backup PG position very well. But DEFENSIVELY we are probably going to be the best in the league. Hell even offensively we got a big upgrade. I always trusted Morey to do good things this offseason and I can't wait to see what he pulls off next.<BR/><BR/>I hope Artest can get his act together though. His off the court issues can be a distraction for the team. I'm willing to give him a chance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841693130778826838noreply@blogger.com
