good question... a few games ago, he scored 11 out of Indiana's 17 4th quarter points to lead the Pacers to a 92-90 win against the Hornets (including the game-winning 3). I wish he would have done a little more of that while he was here... Anyway, good trade for both teams, and the Kings will be just fine despite tonight's lost.
Don't be disappointed, some people find out about Ebay later than others. I'm a power seller on Ebay so we could have worked a deal, but in hindsight, I'm glad I didn't sell him my extra testes. For me pricing mine too high, we landed Artest. Don't thank Petrie or the Maloofs, thank TheSanityAnnex.
Figured. I was getting some good bids on the testes until some bully came along. Oh yeah.....that bully was Ron Artest. And he stated he could always use another few pairs. Ron Artest = Chuck Norris
And Ron is clearly flourishing here. They are different teams, extremely different coaches and very different systems. Peja may not have been happy here anymore, but I think its unfair to assume he was sandbagging. I personally don't believe it. I was against the Artest trade, because I was worried about Ron's temperment. Once the deal was done, Ron had a clean slate with me and I happily support him as a member of my team (and keep my fingers crossed). As to the Pedja haters...you got what you wanted, so why do you still need to bash Pedja with such vitriol? Will it ever end?

Was never a Peja hater. I have three jerseys. I always questioned his drive though. Besides..........this is all in good fun, and its fun. Besides again........this is St. Patrick's Day. Leprechauns are mischevious. The original poster of this thread wanted it deleted, and look what has become of it.

And I'm laughing at the conversation. Wasn't your comment I responded too. And it isn't just in this thread or just this day. I just got frustrated and posted it here. Sorry.

Its all good. I know what you are talking about. This thread provided me a well needed laugh. Along with the Lakers losing. My St. Patty's day is back on track.
To be fair I think Indy has a better fit team for Pedja nad clearly has set up plays to make the most of his tallents. But to his credit Pedja is also playing some fo the best ball of his carreer, almost like it were a contract season

Did anybody see Peja go off in the 4th qtr last night!? 4 threes in last 4 minutes, 12-19 FG, 7-10 3pt, 6 rebounds, 31pts . Pacers lost, but if at least one other player besides Peja showed up for the game they could have won.

Peja = Peja
Not the Superpeja who exists only in some people's fantasy world. Not Scrubpeja who it became popular to suggest he was morphing into. Just Peja. No better. No worse.

Hard to be objective when Pedja@Indy, despite what is probably his worst year since rookie year, is their best player right now. It's not as much that he grew a pair (or purchased one on ebay) as it is that someone who knows how to play basketball sticks out like a sore tumb on that team.
Indy looks like walking dead right now. To look at their roster (JO, Pedja, Granger - very nice pick, Tinsly, Foster/Pollard...) you would never believed it.
I think it is obvious he will never be a superstar. He thrives on being a second option and he is doing it well in Indiana. I think alot of Indiana fans are plesantly surprised. If he can keep averaging those numbers (and he is very capable of doing it), they will be happy with him.
One thing that sticks out it, he is 1.4 rebs above his average and he seems to be doing alot better in the 4th qtr.
