Artest To Miami?

Word is the Heat is intent on making another push to acquire Ron Artest, trying to entice Sacramento with Udonis Haslem and others.
Take a look at the Heat roster and you’ll find that they already have Antoine Walker, Dorell Wright, Penny Hardaway and a bunch of other guys who can play the wing. Word is rookie shooting guard Daequan Cook is showing improvement too. Acquiring Ron Artest isn’t exactly a need right now especially if the price will be Udonis Haslem.
Udonis Halsem is their young talented and hard working power forward who can score and rebound well. The Heat need him especially since Shaq is getting injured a lot more often now and Alonzo Mourning announced that this coming season will be his last. Artest could lend a hand to the Heat (I’m saying could because he wasn’t exactly spectacular last season) but his erratic behavior on and off the court plus the price of Haslem would just make this deal not worth making. I know Pat Riley is dedicated to make this team better but this just isn’t the way.
