Artest is wrong personality for the team and wrong age and I don't think the team is at a point where they are so ready to compete they could add a guy like this and it would put them over the top. Plus I wonder what they would give up to get him.
His skill set is just what they need but I would much rather see it in a younger, cheaper, team orientated guy who grows with the team.

I hear ya man, Artest is usually a guy you'd add when all else fails and you think your team might be on the verge of disintigrating or getting past it's prime. You know though, Artest is only 28.
Yeah Wilcox would be a solid fit for this team. An all-purpose Center who can rebound/score. Of course, adding a combination of Artest/Wilcox would pretty much address every single question mark surrounding this team - aka defense and low post play.
How much would it take to get Artest? Probably not as much as you'd think, given his history.
