from a pacers organization standpoint....why get peja? he's a great shooter, but that's it. at least artest shuts down the other team's top scorer AND drops 20 pts.

on another note, where do you guys think jkidd will end up? as a nets fan, it hurts to watch nj this year compared to the last 2 yrs.

Peja is a great player. Like CTrain said, Peja carried the Kings until the meltdown last year. IMO, it would be a great trade for both sides. 1 for 1 and SF for SF.

As for JKidd, I think he's going to stay a Net. His contract is ridiculous and his knee is something to be concerned about.

If JKidd is traded, it will be after he shows he can still play near his old dominant level (amazing to say a PG can dominate a game, but he can!).

Peja is more than a shooter, the guy is a scorer, as he showed last year (though not at good at getting his shot as some of the great scorers in the league). If the salaries match-up, I can see it being a good trade both ways. I'll have to try to pull it off in NBA Live and simulate a season.

Their salaries are almost identical.
I personally like Peja more than Artest.
Peja was borderline superstar status last season.
Just feels like hes not too excited to be playing for the Kings this season.
