He only played one season and it was about as up and down as you could get, but he's still one of my five favorite Rockets ever. Morey turning Artest into Courtney Lee is still a head-scratcher.

Morey didn't trade Artest. Artest signed with LA on his own free will.

The Rockets didn't even try to re-sign him, shooting for Gortat (pffft) instead. The Ariza signing was essentially a trade.

See, I can't really understand the Triangle [offense]," he (Ron Artest) admits. "There's 1,000 plays in the Triangle. It's such a challenge. I get so frustrated about it, I have to call my psychiatrist. So I just stay in my one spot in the corner. If I leave my spot, I get yelled at. Phil's (Jackson) gonna say, 'What are you doing over there?!?' So I just don't move.
