Oh, and for anyone who has doubted whether Phil will be back, this is the clincher, he will be back. This is just like the Rodman move with the Bulls. Bring in the crazy guy that is incredibly underrated as a player cause he's insane and then have everything work out and people act like Phil is some genius for making it happen.

Oh, and Bruce Bowen is useless on offense and defense at this point in his career.

No doubt...i agree with everything you say except the part where you think people arent worried about matching up with him on the offensive end.

Artest has always been a tough match up. He is too big for most swingmen and too mobile if you want to try to cover him with a big three or a four.
