<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Basketball is Ron Artest's passion. In order for Ron to fully demonstrate his natural skills and abilities, to the best of his abilities, he not only must be in an environment that is conducive to his growth an development as a player, he must also ensure that his family is happy and content as well. Ron does not believe that will be the case if he were in Sacramento. Period. However, as mentioned earlier, Ron is deeply committed to the sport of basketball and desperately misses playing the game he loves. If the trade is made he will play for his new team, regardless of how he may feel about it." </div> i think Artest should come to Toronto. He'll be able to demonstrate his "natural skills and abilities" because he will be our second option behind Bosh Mike James+ Jalen Rose+ Denvers first round pick for Artest and Pollard
The Pacers are desperate but if Artest didn't want to go to Sactown, what makes you think he will want to come to the Raptors. Also I think they don't want to trade Artest for any eastern conference team. They want to ship him to the west.
I dont think Artest wants to go the west I think thats the reason he rejected that trade to the Kings. I think he wants to stay in the East just my opinion though.
