Peter Vecsy .. as reliable as they come in my opinion ..

I've heard that Vescey got this report from Artest himself. However Artest is probably the most unreliable source there is

Whats the deal with NY media's unhealthy obsession with Ron Ron?



On the bright side...Ron's goofyness hurts his trade value so much that although its a talent bleed if he does opt out, it doesnt really hurt us as much in the real world as it does on paper. Dude couldnt even nab us Klieza.

However...If he DOESNT opt out then a bit of uncertainty will go away raising his trade value. And a second round or conference finals eliminated team may want that one piece to put them over the top, and be willing to trade away some of their future to win now.

You forgot the whole string of needed after that statement.

Vecsy reported ad nauseum in 2001 that Webber would not resign with the Kings partially because Webb thought it would be easier to make the All-Star team as a starter in the East.

Ah, but let's not forget that Vescy broke the Artest trade. He's not perfect, but sometimes he really does have inside info.

Well, let's put it to the test. By my count (according to his insider sources) he made 4 definitive "this will happen" predictions:

-Artest will opt out
-Rasheed Wallace is untouchable
-Nets will acquire (or at least attempt to acquire) Marcus Camby
-Nets will trade for the Blazers' 13th pick.

Two we'll know in a few weeks, the other two we'll know by the end of summer.
