I feel bad for Chris Bosh so much, he's doing so well this season and getting little support from the rest of the Raptors, and you can tell Sam Mitchell's not to blame =P

How about them Sixers getting in for Artest trade?

If that happened, Sixers would actually have a championship-caliber roster with Iverson, Webber, and Artest leading the way... We would probably have to give up Andre Iguodala though, at least.

"Agent: Artest wants to remain a Pacer
By CLIFF BRUNT, Associated Press Writer
December 17, 2005

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Ron Artest doesn't want to be traded by the Indiana Pacers after all, his agent says.

Artest said last weekend that his past in Indiana haunts him, and he is interested in being traded to the New York Knicks or Cleveland Cavaliers.

But Mark Stevens, Artest's agent, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Artest holds out hope he can remain with the Pacers.

"At this moment, we're not going to put the buggy before the horse," Stevens said. "We're waiting to hear from (Pacers president) Donnie Walsh, the gentleman and scholar that he is, and hope this can be resolved to where there won't have to be a trade."

Teammate Stephen Jackson said Artest called him Friday night, and hopes his teammate will return.

"He wants to play basketball, that's all he wants to do," Jackson said before the Pacers played the New York Knicks. "He wants to play basketball, he wants to win.

"I think he wants to play basketball with us. He loves his teammates, he has no problems with his teammates."

Artest triggered a brawl with Detroit Pistons fans in November 2004 and was suspended for 73 games and the playoffs. Walsh said the latest incident was "the last straw of a lot of issues."

Jackson also was suspended for the brawl.

"I almost lost my job for him last year, so that's my friend," Jackson said. "So I respect his decision, whatever he feels, he feels."

Stevens said Walsh told him he is prepared to make Artest inactive with pay for the rest of the season if he can't find a suitable trade.

"I understand the frustration as a general manager, dealing with the past incidents with Ron, and I can understand if he sees fit to do that," Stevens said.

The NBA fined Artest $10,000 Thursday for making public statements detrimental to the NBA.

Artest was a key component on a team expected to challenge for the Eastern Conference crown. He leads the league in steals and is the Pacers' second-leading scorer at 19.4 points a game.

He said he was unhappy playing in coach Rick Carlisle's system. Carlisle said any decision regarding Artest's return would be left up to Walsh and Larry Bird.

"Right now, this is a franchise decision and fortunately for us it's in the hands of Donnie Walsh and Larry Bird, who are two of the best basketball people that there's ever been in this league," Carlisle said. "So they'll decide which is the best way to go.

"We built an entire system around him and Jermaine O'Neal and I'm disappointed because I've been one of his biggest supporters. But this situation has gotten to where it is."

are you freakin crazy? 76ers need another problem ?? Iverson needs about 50 shots a game.. webber wants 30... Artest wanted out cause he wanted 1v1 type offense..... if the NBA made a rule that said "from now.. we have to use 3 balls in a game at once" that idea might work... but other than that.. i dont see how.. i mean why not just team up shaq and kobe together..

I'm glad I didn't go out today. I got to watch Kobe Bryant outscore the Mavs himself 62-61 at the end of the third quarter. AMAZING!
