Ron Artest found out he was traded live on the radio
Published 8/4/2008 by houroc at Hail Mary Jane» Hail Mary Jane
If you read blog regularly, you probably found out that Ron Artest was traded before he did. Last week when Ron was traded to the Houston Rockets, he found out while calling in to a live radio station. He was trying wish Sirius radio host Scott Ferrall a happy birthday and Ferrall dropped the news to him. He didn’t stay on that topic for long, smart move. He probably didn’t want to say anything that would get him into trouble. Tags: ron, ...

I promised I wouldn't cry. There are myriad reasons this is a good trade for the Kings. Yes -- it's a good trade for Houston, Ron-Ron himself, Tracy McGrady, Jonathan Feigen and others. But this is a Kings blog, not a Jonathan Feigen blog, so let's ...

A Daily Babble Production Not only does it look as though the Ron Artest sweepstakes is over, but there may actually be a winner here aside from the team that was looking to achieve some good old-fashioned addition by subtraction.

Houston just got much better, adding Artest for relatively nothing. It’s amazing how the good team’s in the West keep adding pieces at Costco prices. The Lakers (Gasol), New Orleans (Posey), Utah (Korver) and now Houston have all improved their team significantly without giving much. San Antonio would have been on this list if the Warriors didn’t throw big money at Maggette. ...

Yao Concerned About Artest Rocketing to Houston

In an off-season of monumental player moves, the NBA went through another one on Wednesday, as the Houston Rockets acquired Ron Artest from the Sacramento Kings. Artest must be pretty pleased going to a playoff contender (although he frankly could care less unless the money’s not good). But one of Ron’s future teammates, Yao Ming , voiced a little reservation about Artest ...

Will Ron Artest Really Make Houston Legit?

Posted 7/30/2008 on Rumors and Rants

In a word: perhaps. But I'm not totally convinced Ron Artest won't do more harm than good to any team he lands with. There are, however, a few reasons for Rockets fans to feel OK about this trade . 1.) Artest is unquestionably talented, especially on the defensive side of the ball. With him and Tracy McGrady on the wings and Yao Ming's presence around the rim we should be looking at one of ...

It Sounds Good on Paper

Posted 7/30/2008 on SimonOnSports

Bringing Ron Artest into Houston certainly sounds like a good decision in basketball terms. The Rockets gave up Bobby Jackson (2008 version not the 2002 version), Donte Green and their 2009 draft pick (which will certainly be in the high teens if not the 20s). In return they receive a stellar defender with ferocious intensity and someone on the offensive end who could easily drop 17 points a ...

Bobby Jackson Goes Back to the Only Team That Ever Thought He Was Good; Adelman and Artest Elope

Posted 7/30/2008 on Upside and Motor

Artest is heading South , trading purple for red, and never has to play with Mikki Moore again. Life is good. I'm still not quite sure what the Kings saw in this deal that the rest of us don't. An expiring contract (Jackson) is good and all, but Artest would've expired anyway. Greene is talented, but at the moment he's a summer league wonder and a huuuge question mark. The first round pick ...
