In a word disgusted.
Wait. Let me see if I understand...
Ron Artest, when informed of the decision to trade him to Sacramento, made it abundantly clear that he would NOT play for the Kings. And, considering he's sitting on the sidelines INACTIVE on the Pacers because of repeated problems with his bosses, we have every reason to believe him.
So the Kings retract the offer. As in pull the plug rather than go through a prolonged drama of "will he show?" and "will he play?'
And now, you - DocHolliday - are disgusted with the Kings?
yeah, okay. And the reason we should have insisted on making Artest come to the Kings is because we don't already have enough drama going on? Our team really needs to be short a player while the nutcase decides what he's going to do? And we need to try and field a team while Artest sits there deciding what he's going to do? Did I miss something? When did this become the Indiana Artests or even the Sacramento Artests? Not even Kobe Bryant would have pulled crap like this...
Good lord.

I dont trust the media. I dont trust that Artest said that, i dont trust that the deal is done, i dont trust that it was going down, or that peja didnt know, i know it got sent to the league for approval, but something is too damn fishy.
Im done speculating..its time to wait at the wings until this is all drawn out and THEN make a decision, its alot healthier then reading these boards and establishing an ulser.

No thanks. Look at the misery Artest has put the Pacers through. He says he wants to be traded and that starts this current mess. Of course, Artest started to spin what he "really meant" and then he says I really want to stay. Who in his right mind wants to put up with that cr*p?

I would only point out that the Kings haven't been playing too poorly without Peja as of late. Yes, letting Peja go for effectively nothing would not have been good, but this season is basically in the tank (as evidenced, in part, by the attempted trade), so may as well figure out what Cisco and KMart can do, and if Artest doesn't show up, the Kings could at the very least see whether either or both of those players can produce at an NBA level when given solid and consistent minutes. They've certainly each shown flashes of the ability this season, and both will need time to develop that ability.

I was one of those people who had been saying all along that Peja for Artest was probably a good idea. I am officially changing my position. I hope this trade does not go through and we trade Peja for someone else (it's obvious through today's events that the Kings are intending to trade him). Artest is a thug, a punk, and a classless jerk. I hope he goes to the Lakers and destroys their chemistry the way Dennis Rodman did in the lockout year. And I hope when he comes to Arco, the Kings fans boo him every time he touches the ball.

He'd be worth more in pieces than Peja if we had to get rid of him and it didn't work. It's a calculated risk that you take. Even Jim Rome said it might end up disasterously, but if you are Sacramento you still do it.
Oh, well if Gnome said it...

Edit: Holy crap i just randomly hit my fingers against numbers on my keyboard....and they turned out to be the same exact number...what a bizarre day indeed
Ya, I just got home from worked, and was gloomy all day b/c I thought we got ron ron. I couldn't read every post before expressing my happiness. On the down note, I still have Artest stuck on my fantasy team...someone better deal for him
