Sacramento acquires Ron Artest from Indiana for Peja Stojakovic.
Edge: Sacramento
I give the edge to the Kings on this deal even with the "extra baggage" he may bring to Sac-town. Artest easily one of the top defenders in the league and also brings a career average of 19 ppg and 5rpg. Not to mention in the 7 games in 04-05 he put nearly 25 a game. Peja had his best season in 2000 averaging 20.4 but since then it's been a slow decline in his numbers.
Phoenix acquires Nikoloz Tskitishvili from Minnesota for a 2006 second-round draft pick.
Edge: Phoenix
Obviously Phoenix thought something good can possibly happen if Tskitishvili is reunited with Coach D'Antoni. They wouldn't have made the move if the felt it wasn't worth it.
Minnesota acquires Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed and two second-round draft picks from Boston for Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi, Dwayne Jones and a conditional future first-round draft pick.
Edge: Minnesota
Ricky, Mark, Marcus, Banks and Reed all great athletes and defenders and not to mention promising futures. The Celtics IMO just don't make there team the much better. Wally is having a great year at 50% but Kandi, we seen what he's done in his bust a career and they get a medicore D-League player. Boston has to hope they get some talented players to choose from with those future 1st rounders.
