I feel bad for hise wife. Man I thought he had changed.


Well this is just great... Can anything ever go right for us?

Right when we were getting hot...

I have doubts that Ron Ron will be playing in the NBA again. I'm sure mr. Stern won't be too keen to hand out yet another chance.

More important things to worry about though, like what crime he committed.

 

[tyrant]

he'll be released by the end of the day. he's a millionaire. they dont sit very long. he'll be back for the game tomorrow and will lay the lumber down on his former team.

I don't know about that.... I have a feeling there will be a suspension, but nothing that is permanent.

But if they do terminate him at least we will have contract relief? I guess that's the bright side...

You all know that Grant hates when peopel call his show saying we play better w/o Artest... Well, Lets see if we do since he might be out a while... Than we can all crank call that idiot

I hope you're right. Still, though, what an idiot.

Exactly. He'll get a suspension an stuff but I doubt a ban. JKidd went through this type of stuff a lot and he's still in the NBA. It might kill his trade value though and kill the playoff hopes a lot of fans have.

 

[Miles and Miles]

Innocent until proven guilty? Not sure. I need more details besides "he was arrested".

 

[DocHolliday]

Players fire guns randomly at people and continue to play. It sucks that there is another distraction, but he'll probably be at the game tomorrow night, and he'll never serve a day of prison time for it. He'll pay a fine, settle out of court or something, and maybe have some community service time.

Innocent until proven guilty.

 

[Purple Reign]

Unbelievable!!!!

 

[Cal-Kings]

Well, I'm shocked.

I don't recall any of his past problems being of this nature. Weren't they all more or less game related and not "off court" issues?

 

[SLAB]

I'm going with innocent until proven guilty...And even if he is proven guilty, he made a bad mistake, but it is something you know he will be able to work through.

Up until now he has been a model citizen for us...I'm not giving him a pass for his actions, but he has proven he is relatively stable over the past season and a half.

This isn't the end of Artest in the NBA.

I wish him and his family the best, though... Thats what really matters now...

It wasn't that long ago his dogs were confiscated for mistreatment...

In these situations it's almost impossible to discover what really happened.

But yeah, we'll have to wait and see.

First of this nature of which I am aware. Despite his numerous transgressions in and around the NBA, he's actually never been a police blotter type. Until now.

just expanding the area of expertize - I guess

 

[jrahn]

To think he already heard boo's wherever he went outside of Sacramento...this cannot help. I hope this is just a case of his wife getting revenge for something, otherwise its simply no class on his part.

 

[KingsChick]

Guess Ron's going back to his old ways. this is just... not necessary

 

[NewMonkey]

Couldn't have seen this one coming.

 

[fnordius]

The Bee's now reporting that bail was set at $50,000, so he's probably out already.

$50,000? For a domestic viooence issue?

I hope that was set in relation to Ron's income, otherwise how serious was this incident?

 

[LilMissDiva]

To think he already heard boo's wherever he went outside of Sacramento...this cannot help. I hope this is just a case of his wife being on the rag and getting revenge for something, otherwise its simply no class on his part.

Huh????? Not cool!

 

[jacobdrj]

[FONT=&quot]As an aside, I don't think that there is actually anything wrong with people holding buy guilty until proven innocent... it is in the courts that the opposite must be held true, because otherwise you have false accusations that disrupt society.

Back to the topic: Wow. This is awful... I was also under the impression that Artest's issues were only on the court... I hope this is just a misunderstanding...
