He's blowin' smoke....
and everybody knows it. On one hand, you have a great talent in Artest. The problem is that he is a bit unstable and could go into orbital at anytime. On the other hand you have a possible rookie of the year and future allstar in his own right, Channing Frye..... a guy that barring injury will be a model citizen and very productive player for the next 10+ years. To have to absorb Croshere's contract and give up more youth and/or picks is crazy., but you can't blame the guy for posturing. Frye goes nowhere and I'd hate to see any of the rooks go. I'd offer Ariza, Penny's expiring, maybe AD, and Butler for Artest and Croshere...and maybe have to lose a pick but given Artest's volatile personality, there is a very real risk to this trade. I think they'd be hard pressed to do better given Ron's desire to play in NY....he could make any other team regret trading for him.
