That sounds great !!! finnaly a way for espn to do more articles about uszip95843 said:
His status is that he is a Sacramento King. From all reports, he is very happy and NOTHING further has been said about a trade request. He is shooting well; his game is improving; he's having a good time and he knows he's wanted and needed.Vmac said:
I think the whole trade thing can be safely put to rest.

Don't see anything happening unless the wheels totally fall off for us between now and the trading deadline.Vmac said:
After that, won't have to worry about it until the offseason, when almost anything could happen depending on how the season goes.

For all intense and purpose Pedja has rescinded the trade request. He hasn't actaully made that statement publicly, but in his most recent interviews to Serboian media he doesn't want to alk about it anymore with comments like (I am paraphrasing) "That was then, this is now....".
It's a Serbian thing - we never withdraw demands, we just change the subject.

I really think, when Peja came to L.A... Vlade and him had a talk... And Vlade just told him to suck it up and be a professional. Of course this is pure speculation on my part, but still

no matter who he talked to, with kings playing some real bb, i think peja is happier now.
cw is doing well playing with him, i think webber actually tries to set peja up for shots.
i dont' see why he would want to leave still.
which will be great, i am planning on flying out to sacramento for my first kings home game next year, it would be heart-breaking to not see peja.
this is definitely good news

Well, judging by his interviews (recent & not so recent) he still wants out of Sacramento. In a recent interview for a Serbian paper he still maintained that nothing had changed in his demands for a trade, but again stated that he would honor his contract.

How recent? Even three or four weeks can make a big difference in this case.Stojakovic said:
Not that it would surprise me, but its just that its been a while since we've heard a peep.
Still don't think it really matters for the moment so long as we are going well and appear to have a legit shot in June -- Peja only gets moved this season in case of emergency (i.e. its clear we can't win without a change) or if he completely quits on the team.
Am however interested in if he's sticking to his demand as a window into some of his performances. Is he really with us at this point? Or just biding his time and choosing when to bring his best.

I could swear I had seen an article about a week or so ago where he maintained that his wish was still the same - to be traded. It know 3-4 weeks ago is a big difference, but it was definitely not that old. I just started digging through the archives of the site, and have been unable to find the interview. All I remember was that he was asked whether anything had changed in his demands on leaving Sac , and it certainly sounded like Peja was saying he'll play out his contract, but from then on it's "anywhere but here". I remember this because I was surprised that nothing had changed weeks into the season.
Oh well...maybe it was all a bad dream. =|

If you're talking about B92, the interview you're thinking of was done right after the team returned from the yucky road trip. Since then, I believe a lot has changed...and it's rumored that Pedja has made it clear he doesn't want to discuss it any further. I think he's realized he IS wanted and needed and I think he also knows now that there is, in fact, life after Vlade...

That's what I've been hearing too. And even in that B92 interview that you're refering too, I took it to mean that he is not going to swallow his pride and rescind the demand officially but for all intense and purpose the demand should be relegated to a footnote and not brought up as "an issue".VF21 said:
