Trenton Hassell, A Poor Man's Ron Artest?
Discussions between the Pacers and the Clippers of trading Artest for Corey Maggette have come to a halt because of Maggette's foot condition. That doesn't mean that Artest is coming to Minnesota.Trenton Hassell, a poor man's Ron Artest?
Or better yet, a calm, stable, nonthreatening man's Ron Artest?
Don't scoff. The allure of Artest as a trade target for the Timberwolves and a handful of other teams in the NBA -- in spite of his volatile nature and unpredictable behavior -- is Artest's ability to lock down defensively on potent scorers while getting 20 points himself at the other end.
Hassell, judged on those terms, might not be so far off.
Don't worry about Artest, though. He'll be fine, especially since the Maryland Nighthawks (ABA) are even proposing a trade to Indiana that would include sending them Randy "White Chocolate" Gill.
