Freak'n Artest... I liked the Odom for Artest and Kenny Thomas deal... now we are still stuck with Kenny Thomas and get Nothing for our best defensive player... maybe even best or sec best player on the team.... What an idiot!

My God, the draft hasn't even started yet and I'm already out of breath.
OK, if he does opt out we miss on swaping him for something valuable (a pick would have been nice), but speed up the rebuilding process. Probably makes us about 12 games worse for a much better draft pick next year.
How likely is a sign-and-trade? Is it even possible?
Oh, and I'll have to give Vescey a "I was wrong" nod.

Don't fret, LO for Artest/KT was never going to happen. Lakers don't want to trade for Artest, they're only willing sign him.

Now his agent says he's staying: http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/

I hope he opts out so we can S&T him for another prospect in this draft.

Better yet, July 1. I wouldn't put it past Artest to show up with a Circuit City receipt with "I'm opting out" scrawled in crayon on the back about 3 minutes before the deadline with his agent on the phone telling everyone he's staying at the same time.....

True. Do people want him to opt out? I'd prefer he does. The only way I want him to re-sign or not opt out is if it's for a trade or a S&T.
I see no use to keeping Artest. Losing him would result in a better pick next year. It's nothing personal against him, he just doesn't fit here.

We need to can that fool if he doesn't do it himself. For just this sort of utter insane chaos. To quote a famous cartoon bunny "what a maroon". Shoo already.

I wish he would opt out, but I trust his agent.

It's this type of crap that makes Ron Artest the worst fit for a rebuilding organization. You want stability from your leader, not a fickle nutcase.

dear ron,
this is beyond stupid. this team isnt all about you. with the talks of the draft, rose, beasely, who the heat and bulls are picking, oj mayo, and big trades..im sure you feel left out and away from leading the headlines. but there's too much going thats keeping you from getting the attention you want. who the hell cares if you're staying or going. quit changing your mind because most of us dont care. you know when you want to be somewhere and you know when you dont. there is nothing wrong with saying "i dont know". shut your mouth and lets deal with this after july 1st

Who cares anymore? The guy flip flops. As good as a defender he is, I don't think anyone in the Kings organization or the Kings fans want to deal with this crap anymore. We all should be focused on how to build a better roster with this draft coming up, and all Artest does is distract everyone away from pretty much the number one priority. Deal him, let him go, whatever, let him be another teams problem. I get enough distractions with my beloved Denver Broncos and Brandon Marshall.

Whoa.
What does it say about the state of things if we're reduced to actually trusting agents?
Can someone please post a little of the text - for some reason I can't get the sacbee site to come up today.
Thanks.
This too. It's very helpful (for some readers) to at least post a couple sentences from the article you are quoting to get the idea on what is being said....
