First of all I would like to say I am a big fan of yours and listen to the show all the time. But now I have a question for you. Are you still going to back Ron Artest after he has bashed our coach and caused all this other drama? You come on here and talk about how people need to lighten up on him, saying he is just a person. Maybe as a person he is a great guy. I believe you two probably have a good friendship now, which is why you are a little biased. I'm not saying Ron Artest is a bad person. Ron Artest as a player is starting to become one of the worst people to ever wear a Sacramento Kings jersey. I feel embarrased that I wanted him to come to Sacramento. I gave him a clean slate, I even bought his jersey. But now I will never wear it again.
I do agree with you that saying Ron Artest is crazy or has a metal illness is definietly going too far.
I just think if you were just Carmichael Dave the caller you would be feeling little bit like us. You are too close to him. Take a step back and be just a Kings fan and not a friend of Ron's or Bill's or whatever his name is and tell me if you really want him on this team.
What I think is making this even worse is that the more he keep talking the lower his vaule gets in a trade. Maybe teams are going to be like "Hey Ron/Bill is starting to tear apart another team, we better not take a chance." Then for the teams that do still want him will probably be offering less because now we are basically in a position that we have to trade him.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
EDIT: OK I read over more about his comments about coach and I feel like he bashes Reggie but then tries to clean it up and say he more than qualifies, which if he really felt that way then he wouldn't have said he wished Reggie didn't coach last year. Then he sorta bashes the Maloofs for not bringing back Rick.
