Artest's past too much for Pistons to overcome
若爭取Artest或許不錯，但他的前科會是很大的問題
By JAMIE SAMUELSEN‧FREE PRESS SPECIAL WRITER‧May 29, 2009

In the Free Press’ list of possible big-name free agents for the Pistons,
one name stands out: Ron Artest. Could that work?
Freep將FA市場中的好物列了張清單，當中有個不錯的選項---Ron Artest 這樣有搞頭嗎?

Ha! A talented forward, respected by teammates, who can be a distraction off
the court with some of his antics. Naaaah. The Pistons would never hitch
their wagon to someone like that. (Quasi-subtle Rasheed reference there in
case it wasn’t obvious).
科科...一個多才多藝的鋒線球員，尊重隊友，又可以用來搞笑。
對活塞而言，他看起來難道不像是個不可多得的好物嗎?
(尤其是被吹哨後，他和Rasheed似乎都有著相似的微妙反應)

Of course Artest will never happen. He remains the centerpiece of the ugliest
moment in Detroit sports history (other than the Matt Millen era). And for
the Pistons to sign him would represent a tacit endorsement of what happened.
He’s not kryptonite as evidenced by the fact that he’s played for three
teams since the brawl. But he is Detroit kryptonite. So why debate something
that will never, ever happen?
不過用腳斗夫想也知道這不可能發生
他在底特律運動史上最糟糕的那次事件中可是主角捏!
(除了Matt Millen那年代以外 <---這似乎是NHL的梗~他當家的八年底特律獅戰績鳥到爆)
如果活塞在今夏簽下了他，怎麼可能會不提到過去所發生的一切咧。
實際上他並非真的像氪星石那樣具有強大威力
(可改變克利普頓星人身體或性格、可令普通人擁有不同的超能力  --- by Wikipedia  )
自從大亂鬥後，他共待過三支隊伍，分別是溜馬、國王、火箭
但他就像是底特律的氪星石，您為什麼要著急呢? 雖然這是幾乎不可能發生的事情

Because this is the internet, and it’s Friday. So here goes …
因為這只是網路，而且是週五，所以咱們來嘴砲吧!!

Artest has gone through a bit of a renaissance this postseason. When it
looked as if the Rockets might pull an upset on the Lakers, there were some
who called him a top 10 player and even a better player than Tracy McGrady,
whose absence during the Rocket run was notable to say the least. That may
have been a slight exaggeration. But he’s still an outstanding defensive
player and a very good all-around player. The only problem for the Pistons is
that he plays a position they already have filled. Tayshaun Prince is not the
player Artest is, but he’s not far behind. And when you’re trying to
reshape your roster, I don’t think you strengthen a position of strength.
The wrinkle there of course would be if Joe Dumars plans to trade Prince in
any off-season moves he has in mind. Only he knows that.
Artest在今年季後賽表現有復甦的趨勢，甚至火箭差點把湖人給幹掉
有人認為當下的他根本就是聯盟Top10的猛將，甚至比T-Mac還要威
因為即使T-Mac因傷缺陣，火箭仍然打出不錯的成績，雖然這麼稱讚Artest有點小誇張了些
他的防守功夫仍然是頂尖的，而且它是個很棒的all-around球員
但對於活塞而言，唯一的問題是---他打的SF位置已經有小王子了
小王子不是像Artest那樣的球員，但也相去不遠了
如果你現在打算把手上的roster重新洗牌，我不認為你這麼做有強化到本來就有優勢的點
不過當然眼前的問題當然得先看Joe有沒有打算把小王子拿出來交易，只有Joe自己知道

The Palace brawl is still a fascinating event to me. I watched it again on
YouTube before I wrote this, just to reset everything in my mind. I’m still
annoyed that Artest was held up as the only reason the incident occurred. His
actions are inexcusable, and I’m in no way defending him. But a lot of people
’s actions were inexcusable that night, including Ben Wallace’s, many of
the fan’s, and even some of the security. Those to try to portray it as the
awful Artest vs. the angelic Palace faithful are crazy. Artest didn’t throw
the cup. Artest didn’t throw the chair. Artest didn’t throw the popcorn.
And Artest didn’t allow two dopey fans to walk onto the floor to challenge
some of the Pacer players. A lot of people were wrong that night. Artest was
at the forefront, and he paid the stiffest penalty. But I’ve always thought
that too many others got off with a slap on the wrist.
奧本山大亂鬥對我而言仍然是個精采的事件。
我為了還原當下的真相，在寫這篇以前從youtube又看了一次重播
我還是不爽Artest在這次事件中那不可饒恕的行為，我沒有打算護航
但是除了他以外，有很多人的行為也是難以原諒的 包括Ben Wallace、球迷、甚至是警衛
那些試著想把這次事件描繪成 「大壞蛋Artest VS 天使般的真理」 的人根本就瘋了
Artest沒有丟杯子，Artest沒有丟椅子，Artest沒有丟爆米花
Artest也沒有讓兩位白目球迷去找溜馬的球員釘孤支。在那晚，很多人都做錯事了
只是Artest是最前線鋒頭最健的那位而已，他也為此事件付出了嚴厲的代價
但我總認為有太多其他人處罰太輕了

Would signing Artest undo any of that? Of course not. But it will never
happen anyway. I just like to consider the irony when I ponder such a union.
如果簽下Artst能否對那次事件改變什麼? 當然不會啊 但這是不可能發生的
只是我在想，會不會真的發生這麼諷刺的事情...
