Ron Artest has been getting a lot of attention around the league lately. He has been one of the more popular players on the trading block.
Reports say that the Dallas Mavericks were offering Brandon Bass and Jerry Stackhouse for Ron Artest. The Sacramento Kings asked Dallas to include Josh Howard in the trade. This triggered an end to trade talks between the Kings and Mavericks. Obviously, the Mavs are not interested in letting go of Josh Howard.
Hypothetically, if the Mavs were able to acquire Artest without having to let go of Howard, they would’ve had All-Star starters except for the Center position. But now, rumors of this trade happening has been shut down.
There has also been speculation of a Lakers-Kings deal. The Lakers would trade Lamar Odom for Ron Artest. This trade rumor has also been taken out of the radar. Reports say that the Spurs and Suns are also interested in Artest.
Ron Artest is one of the premiere defenders in the NBA. He has already won the Defensive Player of the Year Award in the 03-04 season. His tremendous defense is the main reason why a lot of teams are interested in acquiring him. He is not afraid to defend any position. He has great toughness and speed to match any player. He also has reliable back-to-the-basket moves, penetrating ability and steady shooting. He can comfortably connect from three-point country.
Who will the All-Star guard/forward be playing for this season? Only time will tell.
