    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Neither Walsh nor Bird accompanied the Pacers on a road trip that made back-to-back stops in Dallas and San Antonio. They're too busy trying to find the right trade that will send the elephant packing. They prefer that he head out of the Eastern Conference, although one member of the Pacers' basketball staff whispered that he would like to see Artest sent to Toronto</div>

    Rumour

    Indiana is nearing a three-team trade that would send swingman Ron Artest to the Los Angeles Lakers, a league source said. Lakers forward Devean George would end up in Indiana. The third team involved in the proposed trade is the Toronto Raptors, according to the source. The Raptors would send Jalen Rose to Los Angeles -- and in return receive Pacers forward Austin Croshere and at least one player from the Lakers.

    I thought this rumour was interesting

    That rumor doesn't hold any water...."person from the basketball staff" ? That could be an assistance coach, the assistant coach has almost no say so in a players movement.

    And like gotrunks said, what would the trade be?

    Croshere isn't worth picks. maybe the Nuggets first but i doubt it, However Croshere would fit in the Raptors nicely.. a player who tends to throw up shots instead of driving, passing or posting up.

    more too the trade rumour.

    ? Since yesterday, I?ve learned that either Lamar Odom or Kwame Brown would also be part of the trade -- most likely Brown, as the Lakers reportedly have indicated that they will not move Odom, period. Aaron McKie and Slava Medvedenko are two other Laker names that keep popping up.

    I guess the trade would look something like this:

    Artest to the Lakers,
    J. Rose to Indiana
    Kwame Brown and Croshere to Raptors


    and a few other players so the contracts match up, with Indiana getting a pick from the lakers
