Time to brawl in the Toyota Center...
Umm, so apparently the Rockets have traded for Ron Artest. This actually seems like a pretty good trade, on paper. Artest brings hard-nosed defense, and an offensive (literally and figuratively) touch to the SF position currently occupied by Battier. This certainly increases the Rocket's offense and if they can rotate Battier, better defense as well. Plus it adds a layer of perceived toughness to a relatively soft Rocket's team. Now if McGrady and Yao can just stay healthy the whole season....

This is a great deal for Houston, because they are just renting Artest. If things don't work out, they can just dump him after this season. Plus they didn't give up very much. This should spread the floor very nicely, and help Houston on both sides of the court.
