Daniel Artest Does God's Work, Endorses Artest-for-Lee to NY Media

by Tom Ziller on Jul 9, 2007 7:41 AM PDT in Free Agency/Trades

Have I mentioned that I love Daniel Artest recently? From Marc Berman, New York Post:

Reached at his hotel, Daniel Artest told The Post last night, "I'm not disrespecting David's game, but I think Ron is a better player than David Lee. I understand about their long term, but they should go for it now. David's going to get less touches with Zach [Randolph] anyway."

Amen. Can we get Dan-Dan on the phone to Zeke?

To recap: A player on our summer league endorses a trade of one of our players to another team based on the reasoning said trade will improve the other team. Next: Major Wingate tells the Orlando Sentinel that Otis Smith should send a resigned Darko Milicic to Sacramento for Mike Bibby, because then the Magic would contend for the conference title.

Maybe Daniel is as selfish as his brother and he believes that if Ron is traded it increases his chance of making the team.

We are slipping into the NBA abyss.

Unbelievable. This is like the temp trashing the boss to the media...

I hope that Zeke listens.

Maybe he is a Jedi and this is a mind trick.

Daniel Artest: You will trade David Lee for Ron-Ron.

Isiah: I will give you David Lee for Ron Artest.

We are slipping into the NBA abyss.

This is classic "I'm in New York I dance around the media type bullshit" stuff. Zeke is clever in the way he states things but he's saying Lee is off limits today (when the pieces to complete the trade are probably not available like Dickau/Jones) so what does he lose to say that? Zeke is just digging himself a hole IF he caves. These pieces are so full of holes it's hard to say what Zeke will do.
