I personally don't know what they'd want with a guy that has "questionable" character, plus who is aging, whose skills are diminishing, and who has often been out with injury recently, but whatever floats their boat.
IMO they need to do something to improve, because with a healthy KG, they couldn't hold a candle to the Celts 2 years ago in the finals, and now with Shaq going to CLE, finally (IF he can stay on the court) making that team a legit threat to win the East and also the finals, they have next to zero chance of repeating if they don't, because, despite winning it all, they are quite simply they are a relatively weak team (championship caliber speaking....yes I know they can beat up average to ****ty teams) after Kobe and Gasol. That was enough this year, but next year, barring injury, no way they get it done again without upgrading.
With that being said, I have to agree that Artest is probably not an upgrade. But then again, I've been wrong before, so I guess we'll see.
