I'd always thought Linas Kleiza was an acquired taste. I enjoyed his Missouri work, and David Thorpe had told me good things about him. And, err, he has had some, um, decent performances against the Kings. But Travis Heath of HOOPSWORLD goes further than anyone in his esteem of the estimable Kleiza.

Via Sam Amick, who thinks Kleiza would be the key in any Ron Artest to Denver deal. Watch me waver, but I think I might prefer Kleiza and Eduoardo Najera (and hopefully a pick, even future) for Ron-Ron than the bigger deal including Nene and Kenny Thomas.
