Artest: "It's not that I don't want to play there . . .

Just be happy that he pulled (potentially, I know it isn't fact yet) his usual bonehead move BEFORE he came to your city and ruined your season. As a 1st year Kings fan (watch every game now that Cicso is there), the Kings are better off IMO without RA. At least now you have some idea--albeit only 2 hours--what it is like to have this guy on your team. You are happy, then you are sad. What you are consistantly is confused. Welcome to our world here in Indiana.
This statement, plus the fact that Artest has been in LA recently and the fact that the Clippers were going after him makes me think that this is his agent trying to make a power move. If Artest is in LA (whether it's as a Clipper or Laker) then the endorsement potential goes sky-high. With his contract year coming up and everything, I could see how an agent could be very convincing in making his argument for this type of thing.

I'm still hoping for it.
Just to hit on what other have said already...............I loved how Gray stuck up for the franchise and called out Anthony on his B.S. That was getting a little heated for a moment. This has been one of the most interesting days.
I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning when the Pacers actually speak to Artest for the first time.

Going beyond the whole Greg Antony/Jim Gray saga, what Gray actually said was that the Pacers ordered Artest to come in and talk to Bird and Walsh tomorrow, set this straight, whether it's Artest or his agent who tried to stop this. Then they'll call up Sac and see if they can get the deal again. Otherwise Artest gets shut down for the season and won't get paid- he'll get punished somehow for this. It's looking like either Artest goes to Sac or he won't play in an NBA game for the rest of the year, maybe the remainder of his contract in Indy.
Just went on the main Pacers fan site, set up just like ours:

There, it is nothing but venom toward Artest and very little about Peja and everyone there seems real pi_ _ed about the whole scenario. They blame him for such a bad season. Interesting views from the other direction
