Artest Traded to Rockets
By STEVE CAMPBELL Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle
This could be the finest hour Daryl Morey ever has as a general manager. This could also be a deal that lives in Rockets infamy.
This could be a bold master stroke that propels the Rockets to greatness, makes them a team Houston truly clutches to its bosom again. This could also be the best-laid plan that causes Morey and coach Rick Adelman to wake up screaming in the middle of the night for the rest of their natural lives.
Most truths in life lie somewhere in the middle of two extremes. When it comes to Ron Artest, life is one extreme or another. Artest is beauty and the beast in one 6-7, 248-pound package of contradictions and mood swings. The Latin translation of his name is caveat emptor.
Artest will become a Rocket as soon as the team can wrap up some legalities and logistics with the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets have agreed to send veteran point guard Bobby Jackson, next year’s No. 1 draft pick and another player – most likely this year’s No. 1 pick, Donte Greene – in return for a former All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year.
