But atleast make an attempt at one of the best defenders in the league.

If I remember correctly, the situation with Rasheed is a little different. He was discontent with the team for whatever reason and wanted out. There was a lot of trade rumors flying around. So when ask which team he'd rather go to, he said it didn't matter as long as they "cut the check". It wasn't like he was trying to secure a bigger contract or anything. He just wanted out of Portland and provide his services to whichever team that is payrolling him. Artest on the other hand wants to be a primma donna and boost his offensive stats so that he can have a huge payday in a couple of years.
