No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Too much risk, not that much of an upgrade over what they already have in Howard. Plus Artest isn't looking to do what the Mavericks would most need from him. Artest is going to maximize his talent playing second fiddle to Dirk? Hardly.

He doesn't like playing for Carlisle, but he'd like playing for Brown? Hardly.

Artest's issues are: 1) cognitive disability; and 2) mental illness. Would be curious to know exactly what medicines he's supposed to be taking.

Those same issues will end up destroying whatever team he winds up on.

It's a shame that teams like the Pacers can't sue a player like Artest for damaging his trade value by making statements like this.
