For the record:
For the record, Yahoo Rankings:
10. Bosh
14. D. Williams
71. Salmons
86. Artest
And in most cases when a player goes from a team with lesser talent to a team with more talent their offensive numbers go down. I dont think Artest will score as much with players like Kobe and Gasol on the team.
Yes, that may be their rankings, however when you throw in different scoring systems, basing something on the original rankings is not effective.
Secondly, by his numbers, I meant fantasy impact. I think things like his shooting percentage, assists etc will go up as he gets more open looks/ better players around him. even if his scoring goes down, his overall numbers could be better. thats my view, time will tell whether it was a good deal or not, DWill could break his leg tomorrow and the deal would be a steal for you. who knows.
edit: looks like kwhit beat me to it
