Artest

Wow.

The Rockets might be a contender finally. Any Syracuse fan will tell you that Donte Greene is a fucking bum. Any St. Johns fan will tell you Ron Artest is a great man. Pacers fans try to remain mum, it's the midwest after all!

Kings get:
Bobby Jackson
Donte Greene
2009 First Round Selection (Unprotected)

Rockets get:
Ron Artest

The Rockets don't pick up any lousy contracts (maybe Artest's) in the process and don't really lose a lot of depth at the guard position. Is Aaron Brooks the pure point Daryl Morey and Rick Adelman think he is? I somehow doubt it, but lets take a look at a potential starting five for the Rockets in 2008-2009:

PG-Rafer Alston/Aaron Brooks
SG-Tracy Mcgrady
SF-Ron Artest
PF-Shane Battier
C-Yao Ming

Wow.
