This could be a drag for Shane Battier: the Rockets are apparently close to trading for Ron Artest. He's a tremendous defender, but, well, he's just nuts. Dennis Rodman was a head case, but he showed up and played his ass off, even if he came to the gym in a prom dress. Artest is capable of brilliance and complete idiocy, and you never know which way he'll tip.
