I still haven't seen all the angles (things like the actual beer being thrown onto Artest, if such a shot exists, nor Jermaine tackling the guy who came onto the court). I hadn't seen Artest hitting another guy on the court, though.

I've been very hesitant to pass judgement - mostly because everyone else has probably covered every argument you could make. I'm of the opinion that both sides were in the wrong, and the whole thing was a chain of one poor decision after another.

It seems too callous to try to create a fantasy impact for this one, especially since it's pretty obvious what the ramifications are. If you want to solicit advice, you can try the FantasyRef forums, or RealGM forums. Needless to say, you can drop Artest. Keeping Jermaine, or trading him for someone who will produce about equal value are the only decisions you can make with him. Stephen Jackson is somewhat more hazy. Ben Wallace will be back next week. Everyone else should be back soon.

The best thing I can say is that it'll give everyone something to talk about at the watercooler - at least for a couple days.

That is all.|||110115930269264208|||Pacers-Pistons Video
