How long do you think Artest will last with the Kings?

The Kings will probably have to trade him in the offseason.  Otherwise they're going to have a major problem on their hands, and the NBA's version of T.O. just isn't worth it.

The ultimate Laker fan here. Why wouldn't KG want to be in LA. It's naturally a bigger market that Minn. The $$ will be there and he can't win a title in Minn either. All great players are defined by the rings they get, He's a great player. Kobe and KG can exist. KG at the 4, Odom at the 3. Mihm and Kwame split the time at C. The Lakers can't afford not to pursue him. Basketball history indicates you need at least 2 stars to get the ring a la the LakeShow w/ Shaq, the Bulls w/ MJ and Pip, the C's in the 80's w/ Bird, Mc Hale, and the Chief and the greatest teams ever w/ Magic, Cap, and Big Game James. Kobe's job will be easier because w/ KG once you enter the ball in the post they have to double which will free up the shooters. Even running the triangle w/ his ability to move w/o the ball and to pass is a perfect fit. He is an upgrade at PF who can guard Duncan and Stoudamire. A line for LA would be like Smush 10pts/Kobe 30pts/Mihm & Brown 14pts/KG 18pts /Odom 16pts. Trade George and Cook for a 2nd rd picks( they're not worth a 1st rd picks). And get a  Tyronn Lue type little guard to hound Parker and Nash. Just a thought. And if KG is not availabale, Chris Bosh would fit well too. Toronto is like a developmental team and he wants out. And Kobe is gonna crack open a 40 on Artest crazy azz tonight.

I think he has another 7 years on his contract. I could be wrong but I think he signed for like 10 years. It don't really matter much because he will retire with them.

I don't know, but considering they won three rings in five years now, I wouldn't count them out just yet.  You can be sure they have a plan for the draft and the rest of free agency.

Andrew Bynum and Chris Mihm are both said to be available right now- but who knows if there are any takers with good players to give in return-  Expect them to sign point guard Marcus Banks and move Mihm for a younger player but I don't see them pulling off any blockbuster deals until mid season at the earliest- I think at some point some team is going to offer the right deal for Lamar Odom and he should be somewhere else by the end of the year.  But don't expect KG to be a Laker- LA fans had better hope Kwame Brown is ready to be a big time player and keep their fingers crossed on moving Odom at the right price

Orlando has been playing great as of late.  This probably isn't because Darko is tearing it up, but he is definitely showing what he can do when he is given minutes.  I think playing alongside Dwight Howard will give him tons of experience and they have the potential to become a very strong tandem in the future.

you're right they need to get younger and more athletic. Parker and Duncan are a good start Ginobli is getting old but the rest of the team isway past their prime. A young player like livingston from the Clippers would put them right back on top  I think.

I think that there is a lot of upside to Kevin Martin but I think he needs to sustain these numbers for a bit longer before we start thinking of all-star selections. He is young but I worry about his health once teams start to game-plan to defend him and try to stop him. He is slight of build, kind of like Tayshawn Prince of Detroit, but a great scorer though. I think the bigger question for the Kings is this... If they decide that K-Mart is legit, who can they trade away to make this team a threat to make it deeper into the playoffs? I would be willing to see Brad Miller go in return for some kind of a more athletic big man who is not injured so often... I know they don't grow on trees, but maybe we could get another young player?

In the past, he has had a record much like Ron Artest's. He has been called for frequent flagrant fouls in the past. The officials now think that anything he does is of malicious intent.
1093894
No. He's going to get a lot better though. Nobody's in Shaq's league yet. His body is so big and strong even though he's getting old already he is still dominant in the paint. Udonis is better in free throw shooting

Marbury will be traded for sure, K-Mart as well and there is an increasing rumor of Iverson being dealt to a contender.\n\nMost of the time, "old" players (let's say 8+ years vets) are always asking a trade to a contender, so I doubt the players I've listed will end up in Atlanta or Toronto, but check how this years just short teams (probably Dallas, Miami, Phoenix, both LA) will try to land one of those stars.

Artest can score, end of story.

I know people really want to see another 81 or more point game by Kobe, but that would be a one in a billion chance of happening, even if it is against Golden State (although of course I would like to see it).  I'm saying he'll score 41 points against them.

Dwight Howard is beginning to shape up for the competition in the NBA. He is more like the franchise of the team now. I think the Magic really had the greatest decision in getting Howard instead of Okafor that year. Well, they need the "magic" of Grant Hill and other players like Pat Garrity who is a great shooter and scorer. Hedo Turkoglu is beginning to put up some points also in his stat sheets so he's one of the players we would like to look up to. Darko Milicic will improve because he can team up with Dwight in the post presence and dominate the paint if you may. Ü Orlando is one of my favorite teams so I would like to see them improve in the coming years.

They have a young star in Chris Bosh, key word there was "young". I think it will still be another 2 years before he win games for his team. Other than him there is Ford who is solid, face it he puts up assits, but common he isn't a star.They need a couple of impact players, and they would for sure be in the play-offs.

ya, i love the kings. i am a huge fan, mike bibby is the best pg besides steve nash and chauncey billups in the nba. \ni dont know how well the kings are going to do though, they have to face the spurs and allthough the spurs havent been doin too well lately, its going to be hard for the kings to beat the confence best and defending world champs, as much as i hate the spurs, its the truth. we could see and upset though, it would be great, artest says that they are getting to the second round. i love the kings and want them to go all the way! go bibby!
