Warriors Making a Run for Ron Artest

[VC3]

Ric Bucher was on ESPN's Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning show earlier today discussing the Shaq-Matrix deal between the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns [2.6.08]. The juiciest part of the interview actually pertained to the Warriors though. Here's a transcription:

There was some weird rumor floating out there that the Warriors would make a run at Ron Artest. What was proposed out there doesn't work as far as numbers are concerned, but that's another team. The Warriors are another team that I could see going for broke and signing Chris Webber wouldn't be the end of it.

*cough* Wright *cough*

 

[VC3]

We will never give up Wright. Hes an incredible talent. In a few years just watch out.

Imagine this though:

C: Webber
PF: Artest
SF: Jackson
SG: Ellis
PG: Davis

Rumor is TPE + unprotected pick for Artest.

 

[.GR]

TPE?

 

[RipCity32]

Who in the world is TPE?

 

[VC3]

Wow you guys are n00bs.

The $10 mil Trade Exception we got from Charlotte for J-Rich. <_<

Even adam knows:
dirkjet: lol they dont know what TPE is

 

[RipCity32]

OHHHHHHH yeah, I thought that's what you called one of your players there or something.

 

[.GR]

Well thats a dumb trade.
Artest for a pick? Woohoo.

 

[VC3]

LOL no. ;]

Well thats a dumb trade.
Artest for a pick? Woohoo.

Um, TPE is great. ALso, ARtest is opting out after this season for sure. How is that a bad trade? And how did you not know he wants out and said hes opting out after this season? I thought you're a kigns fan <_<

 

[.GR]

LOL no. ;]

I do know that but we can definatley get a better trade than that.
And to top it off, help out a division rival? It wont happen.

Its not really helping. Kings suck this year and are in a rebuilding mode according to Petrie.

I mean, do you really think the Kings will make the playoffs?

 

[RipCity32]

I doubt it goes through.

 

[VC3]

Its not. Its just a rumor and something they are supposedly discussing.

 

[Pugz]

That hat that Ron is wearing is dope.

No. I dont think the Kings will make the playoffs, but we can still get a better deal like possibly a D. Lee.
