No way in the world. He wouldn't come here and I really doubt that Weisbrod would want him. He's a one-dimensional player, let him go to the Lakers.

Anyways it would be hard to get him but I think we got a lot of players...(Bogans,Mobley,Augmon,Garrity,Hedo,Hill) and others...but I say keep the team we have right now..it's not bad at all..

He can't run much, he can't create his own shot that much, and without someone (Divac) setting a pick for him all the time, he isn't going to get open very easily. We don't need him on the Magic.

Most guys who are blessed to be 6'10 can rebound, and I wouldn't call 6.30 rebounds per game outstanding for a player of his height/position. Besides, his body frame is not built for a rebounder and he's rarely found down low fighting for the ball. As for his passing skills, they are nothing special. He might be a leader, but he chokes in the playoffs. Also - His defense isn't terrible, and people often underrated him on D because they look at his shooting ability first. The only positive out of him is his instant offense, because we might struggle in that department next season. But in the end he needs another player to make him as good as he is, because he cannot create for himself. We don't need that type of player on our roster because we'd most likely be giving up too much for him anyhow. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rumors are his is going to Indiana anyway</div> Yup, and I'd take Artest over Peja anyday.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ice:</div><div class="quote_post">He can do more than shoot - he can rebound but it's a known fact his game is pretty one-dimensional.</div> Nice to see that someone around here agrees with me when I say that this guy is rather one-dimensional. I really don't see what all the hype about this guy is. Yes, he's a wonderful shooter, phenomenal even. But we learned last year that if you make this guy your primary option on offense, you aren't going to go very far (and the Kings decided to do that). Personally, I don't know why Indiana is even thinking twice about getting rid of Artest, who in my opinion is one of the most well-rounded players in the league, for this guy. I don't see Indiana fans being very happy about that. From what I read in some articles though, the main reason for the rumours is due to Larry Bird being so high on this guy.
Sac. would be getting a steal in Artest, who can play D...the only one on the Kings who will, score and be a leader. Anyway... Peja IS a one dimensional player. Yes he can shoot, and he can run around Divac for a lay-up, but this guy doesnt perform under pressure, shoots like Bird during the season and turns into Antoine Walker during the playoffs. He really cant rebound, a 6'10'' guy should really be getting 8+. But he is soft, and thats the way it is. He cant lead unless theres another Serbian in the locker room, and he has had problems with CWebb/Bibby. Peja knows how to win and not win. If you're playing the Atlanta Hawks on March 3rd, Peja will get you a win. If you're playing Dallas or anyone in any game of the playoffs, he'll start doing the WIGGLE He may be a good fit in Indiana, in the East where scorers are more prominent than great defensive players. Dont get me wrong hes a good player, but nowhere near the game Larry Bird had, whom which he is often referred to. When Peja wins and big game and puts his team on his shoulders, then I'll trade for him. Besides, we got Hedo :beerchug:
I agree that Peja is a one dimensional player, but I don't fully agree with him not being able to create his own shot. I've seen plenty of times where there would be someone all up in his face but Peja still bust the three in between the guys eyes. but anyways, Peja would be nice to have, but you guys have no need for him.
Peja would be a pretty cool addition to the Magic but we don't need him. We'd be giving up too much for him and he would only bring one thing to this team,which is instant offense. We really don't need him and probably wouldn't be able to get him
I wouldnt want him after a couple of years of following the kings lakers rivalries he always seems to get shut down in the playoffs or not perform well we dont need that type of player if we are tring to advance into the playoffs he would be of no use to the team. He would also not hit in with the teams offense because he can not create his own shot and often settles for the jumper rather than tring to get the ball further inside the paint. I really dont think he could offer more to the team in anything rather than points that mobely can offer along with hill. Mobely can get you 17 a night and 20+ if he is hot as well as shoot the three consistantly. Then hill has sort of that type of game yet he is more of a mid range shooter. Does two together are better than what peja would offer.
