no, i think it is relevant, because petrie's recent string of foul ups (wells being an exception) probably deserves the most blame for the current state of the kings. it is entirely possible that geoff petrie has turned down an artest for peja trade twice (obviously, we don't know for sure...but history [and GP's peja-fixation] tells us a lot). the first time, i was in disagreement, but it was understandable, because there were higher expectations for peja at that moment. this time around, it just seems ludicrous that petrie would say no. i would take artest and all of his baggage (not to mention trade value, which peja is currently lacking) in a heartbeat. many of us would...
oh, and summer 2005 might have been a good one to add to the above list, as well.

True. The insider mentioned this as a reason Walsh may not go w/ the Odom deal.
However, the most important thing is that he's gone absolutely solemn, not telling anyone in the office or whatever a word. He said this usually means he's nearing a deal and doesn't want anything to leak, and that something usually happens 3-5 days afterward.

As said before, Cuban: "No.".
Suns and Heat won't be dealing for Artest, either.

Understandable with the stuff about Granger - the guy's a stud. I love 'em. Need to see more of him though .
I bet Artest goes to the T'Wolves or Nuggets.

Apparenty Walsh said that the Warriors are in contention to get Artest. Man, how perfect would that be for them? I would think they would have to give up Diogu, who literally destroyed Sheed the other day on offense. May be worth it for them to do it however.
A lineup of Baron, Jrich, and Artest would be nasty! He would also give them some post game which is what they need.

How good is Diogu? I know nothing about the kid.
Pietrus or Biendris would also be nice prospects in an Artest trade. I could defintely get excited about a trade W/ GS.
Davis/Richardson/Artest/Murphy/Foster? With Granger, I don't think the Pacers need Foster. What would GS give up for Artest + Foster?

Diogu looks like the could be a very good offensive weapon someday. He kind of reminds me of Elton Brand w/o the rebounding and shotblocking. He looks to be only about 6'6" or 6'7" but can do his thing in the post without any problems.
I don't think Diogu would really fit in with what the Pacers need and probably can't help you guys right now but he could be a good trade piece or backup.
And I wouldn't be too sure about the Warriors taking on much salary or longer deals back because they just paid out a lot of cash to Foyle, Jrich, and Dunleavy Jr. I also hear they are very high on Pietrus and doubt they would give up all 3 of their young guys.
Maybe this:

Foyles deal sucks but if they want to put Foster in the deal this is how I see it.

I'd be very surprised if the Warriors traded IKE. They're quite high on him. That's the last guy next to Richardson I'd think about in trading.
He's gonna be a stud, and while it was college, he was a total beast at ASU. Has already had a handful of nice games, including going 13-15 for 27 points and 7 boards at Detroit last Friday.
Ike is 6'7"/6'8", and he can rebound and block shots.
I could see them giving up Taft/Zarko/Biedrins, maybe Pietrus, as far as their young guys go.
