According to SacBee.com blogger Sam Amick

“Detroit: Could this be why Artest was so interested in interviewing brawl instigator John Green a while back? It would be a brilliant PR move if the Pistons were looking to put a package together for Artest.

And from what I was told from one source close to the Pistons, they are. I’ve yet to get this info from more than one person, so stay tuned. But much like the Mavs’ situation, this could be one of those where the player the Kings want (perhaps Tayshaun Prince) would be different than the one offered (Jason Maxiell, anyone?). Pure speculation on my part in terms of the potential pieces.”

If this ever happens I would be shocked. All these annonomous sources havent’s made good on a single trade yet so I’m not holding my breath, especially on this one.

Question:Is this guy discounting Jason Maxiell’s potential and game by that comment?
