Rumor has Artest and Rose going to Lakers

The Lakers are getting Ron Artest and Jalen Rose. Holy Crap. This might make them a much bigger threat to us.

Thoughts?

They are going to trade Artest for Devean George and a draft pick?? Oh come on, if they are willing to trade Artest for that, they would TOTALLY do the Peja trade. Which means the Kings aren't involved in the talks at all, because they don't want to take a chance on him. That makes me sad and angry. This trade doesn't add up to me.

We'll see if this is legit but if it is true then the Indy GM was blowing smoke out of his ***. Your telling me he is going to trade Artest and Croshere for friggin' Devean George????

Bigger threat to us? haha, wouldn't say we're a threat to anyone ourselves right now...

If this is for real, Lakers fans will be loving Kupchak. And Pacers fans will be pretty pissed. How do you trade an All-Star for Devean George? Absolutely insane.

i dont' know about "threat", i think now we are our biggest enermy.
artest? i guess i am glad because now i don't have to dislike an extra team just because of him. i can just add him to my reasons to hate the lakers.

If this were to end up happening, I just have 2 comments.

1. I like the Pacers, but they have to be desparate to take Devean George.

2. Although I don't want to see someone of Artest's talent go to the Lakers, I would start a pool about how soon before Kobe/Artest fights break out......no, I don't mean physical.

I hate seeing any news related to Lakers in the Kings forum

Two things:

First, this kind of thing goes in the NBA forum, so I've moved it.

Second, unless you're bringing breaking news to the board (and something dated Dec. 29 is NOT breaking) it's really misleading to use a title that sounds as if a rumor is a done deal. So, I've changed the title, too.

This was already posted days ago in the Artest trade thread (just below). Hence dated 12/28:
