Article On Artest

Yao aside, he's definitely my x-factor.

The dude is a nightmare when he's focused and dialed in.

So I'll ask the question. He's a free agent this off-season and if he has indeed grown up and learned to play the right way would you take him? I'd be damn tempted.

Have you seen his FG%? .400. For a guy with his size, it's weird that he's not in the mid-to-upper 40's.

Just wait'll you see him start chucking from about 10-12 feet in front of where you'll be sitting.

Yeah, if Artest played within his limitations, I'd love to have him. Unfortunately, I can imagine a lot of nights where Roy and Aldridge don't see the ball much because Artest has decided to "take over."

That's what nixes it for me. An Artest who simply focused on defense and only took open shots would be fantastic.
