i have a feeling if we ever trade howard we will regret it in the near future plus artest's attitude at times can be very costly. example: remember the game this year in the eastern conference finals when the pacers were playing detroit? well anyway in a very crucial point of the game and the series artest picked up a flagrant or technical foul (i don't remember which one) because he elbowed richard hamilton in the face. that elbow thrown at richard hamilton may have cost the pacers a trip to the nba finals, but they would have lost against the lakers. the point is howard has the potential to be just as good or even better than ron artest, he is younger, has a better attitude, and there is the possibility artest would let his attitude get the best of him and throw another elbow that may cost us a trip to the finals
