Any takers? - Artest as good as gone by trade deadline

[JoMal]

Two of the worst trades in NBA history have been made in the past week so why not?  Ron Artest and Brad Miller to Houston for Yao Ming?!

No No!!! For it to be comparable to what we just witnessed it would have to be Kenny Thomas, Quincy Douby, the rights to Damir Markota, and 2 second round picks for Yao Ming.

Any trade that includes Kenny Thomas makes my eyes water.

Jomal,
here is an older piece on Manhimi.  All indictions are he has continued to progress.
Had a cup of coffee with the Spurs for a few games this season.

Also agreed he is pretty much 6'11 now maybe will hit 7'0".

Also some vid when he was just a 17 year old

Granted it's like dunking over WoW at the Y but still gives you an idea.
I have newer vid i just gotta find it.

Hmmmm


Did he hurt himself on that landing?

His offensive game would need quite a bit of 'tweaking', I would guess.

I'll take 'Testy or Antawn Jamison.

Spurs currently have 3 young NBADL All Stars to get the talks started. 
Spurs rookie Ian Mahinmi, the team?s first-round pick in 2006, Keith Langford and Jeremy Richardson.

Keith Langford and Jeremy Richardson have to be under contract with the Spurs before they could trade them.  And neither one is.  They both played on 10 day contracts but both were released.

I believe that I read this somewhere today...maybe you know who said it...THINK BEFORE YOU POST!

No, WoWs dual combo of padding and continual hot air provide a dual cushion.

That clip was 2005 Jomal, Manhimi had definitely improved since then.
I'll scare up some newer video.
Projected to either make the playoff roster this season or definitely get minutes next season.
Good attitude also.  Will play D, team player and not a pampered well, you know.

and then say the trade was due to RRRrrrrrrrraaaaaaauuuugh shrewd trading skills by Petrie and that Houston simply was given no other offers by the other 30 doldrum GMs.  Except
a.  Our resident Kings fan is one and only on this board
b.  He wouldn't do that.

Jeremy Richardson signed by the Atl Hawks..Reality so much for your "real source" being better then the media.

[Reality]

He was signed.  Just not by the Spurs.
How close was your source?

Anyways B-Rad what I and the thread really want to know is where is Testy going, if anywheres?

Reality is sitting on his "real source".

My source was the media which made no mention of him being signed to the Spurs.  A few days later the media, my source, reported he went to Atlanta.  My source is batting 1000...yours? Swing and a miss.

You spent all this time trying to pretend like you had some special source and prove how much of a bigger Spurs fan you were then Lurker....yet the guy never went to SA.
