Peja for Artest? Article

I know the Peja rumours are getting a little out of hand but I digress......

The tremors from Sacramento Kings forward Peja Stojakovic's trade demand have rolled straight to Indiana, where he's already the focus of rampant speculation in a deal involving Ron Artest.

Stojakovic, the NBA's second-leading scorer last season with a 24.2 average, revealed Thursday he told the Kings on July 23 he wanted to be traded.

The Pacers qualify as a logical destination, given president Larry Bird's public admiration for Stojakovic and the fact his contract closely matches that of Artest </div>Full Story

I don't know about you guys but a Christie and Artest combo on defence would be absolutely devastating. You would not be getting that much on offense but your defensive game gets 10x more effective with Artest in there.

 

yeah thats good trade put Indy uniform dont suit with Peja

 

I Doubt this is credible,but it's an intresting read...How many rumours will be coming out about Peja will be intrestring...looking fwd to them

 

I wouldn't want Peja to be traded at all, but if it was mandatory, I would definetely want Artest in return.

 

Peja for Artest and James Jones was reported on Espn Radio in Indi.

I Just heard that too...Well i didn't want Peja gone,but at least Artrest is a Winner and a good player.so i guess everyone's happy now,esp Peja.

 

^Larry Bird said nothing is going on.

 

James who?

I'm now hearing that Petrie is saying no deal's been made so far for Peja,and isn't saying that Peja will be traded.so i hope this is a sign that Peja's not been traded.

 

somebody please update the stojakovic situation, because in nz we don't get much nba news and there's nothing new i could find on the net.

 

if i can get artest for peja... i'd do it in a heartbeat... artest will give u some post play, which peja cannot provide, and will lock up any player on the floor 6-10 or smaller. peja might give u one or two solid defense stances during the duration of a game... outside the shooting that peja provides, kings won't be losing much... bibby is an oustanding shooter and bobby jackson will be coming back. it is much easier to replace a shooter than a defender of artest's caliber. a defensive player of the year for a wannabe mvp... it should be a no brainer

 

Now from what i'm hearing the Artrest for Peja deal is just talk,no action yet...I Guess we will find out will this happen or will it not happen.But i just want this to be settled once and for all

 

Bird has been tryin to get Stojakovic for a while now.. so the talk has been there for a while. The kings have just kept tellin Bird no. And they are still telling him no, and from what the kings front office is saying it will continue to stay no for the forseeable future

 

^ I Hope that's still the case?? ^

 

i wouldnt doubt that it is.
the Kings seem pretty set on the idea they arnt going to trade him. based on that i would guess that they are biding their time to figure out what to do or find someone that wants to make a real huge barn burner of a deal.
