Detroit Interested In Artest?

[Pugz]

The Kings wanted Josh+ so thats why the Mavs declined...

 

[.GR]

I agree with Maple in saying the Mavs and LAkers have a better shot because I dont see Detroit giving up the same peices as the Lakers/Mavs will.

 

[MapleLeaf]

No it was a straight up offer. Maybe picks included, but that was all.

You Pistons fans just act like your guys rumors are more reliable and the likelyhood of a deal between you and another team is more likely then anyone else. It's not.

Artest has already said he would love to play in LA or go to Dallas and play with his former coach

 

[Pugz]

lol Maple why don't you read my posts more? I said that we have NO chance at getting him so GTFO

 

[MapleLeaf]

It's true. Unless you offer Rip+ for him it won't get done.

Kings aren't dumb this time around trading Artest. They wouldn't want Prince since he's not that good or even close to JH5 or Odom

 

[Pugz]

Oh not like I think he'll be traded here, but Artest also said he would LOVE to play HERE lol.

 

[MapleLeaf]

He said the same about LA and Dallas. And Dallas has his former coach who he played his best with in his career and Carlisle said he would love him back

 

[.GR]

Does it even matter if Artest wants to play somewhere? He doesnt have a choice.

 

[RipCity32]

Maple then why are you getting so defensive if your the front runners? You seem offended.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I'm not upset I just think it's kind of weird how you guys are going every guy in the NBA who is averaging more then 10 PPG last year

 

[RipCity32]

Instead of not going after anyone, right?

How are you suppose to get anything done when you don't express interest in anyone.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Well really it's getting annoying with all the Pistons threads whenever they haven't done <Censored> and haven't even been getting close to doing <Censored> but yet there rumors keep poping up.

Like the Bulls a couple years ago

 

[RipCity32]

LIKE I SAID FOR THE 100TH TIME..DON'T CLICK ON THE THREADS THEN AND DON'T READ THEM.

Your just spamming it up if you don't care about them and think they are annoying..

Is that so hard?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Well it's really spam with all these rumors to. This will be like the Okafor or Davis thing. Nothing will happen

 

[RipCity32]

You got proof it won't?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Yes, they're history this offseason of how things have gone

 

[RipCity32]

So when we do make a deal what will you say then?

 

[MapleLeaf]

finally, no more rumor threads involving pistons.

but it won't be happening with artest

 

[RipCity32]

So how will you know it will be another player? When will you? We don't, for all we know it could be Artest.

 

[MapleLeaf]

But it won't because the Kings want to keep Artest but he doesn't want to stay, so they want a player that is most like him really.

And Odom and JH5 are as similar as they come compared to anyone on the Pistons.

Don't say Prince because he isn't even in the same sentence as JH5, Odom or Artest
