Artest played HORRIBLE in the playoffs... He did nothing therefore if Ariza continues to do nothing then its an even trade off.

And I argee, Shane is one hell of a defender and so is Artest, but now with Yao hurt seriously (he probably wont be back until mid-season, if at all) the Rockets NEED scorers. Artest missed like 28 or 29 3's in a row during the playoffs; percentages like that just will not cut it. He did great in the regular season, but the playoffs is where it matters and Ariza showed he could handle it.

Ariza averaged 11 PPG in the playoffs. It's a solid contribution, but he's not a top scorer. He may develop into an OK third option, but if Houston is planning to use him as a main scorer, it might be a bad move.

Either way, Adleman knows a lot more about basketball than I do, so it'll probably be a good pickup.
