He said he was going to demand a trade to the Kings after the season. He has had it with Scott Pollard calling him names in the weight room.
I watched some of it. The part I watched was pretty boring. Just the normal BS... I love IN, We can still win this year, all that stuff. I was cleaning the garage and still am. (taking a break)

Was just joking on that statement
However I did catch the entire interview later tonight on ESPNNEWS. The full interview was still nothing special. I am not sure his head is screwed on straight as they were all canned answers.
We took a chance on Webb, he had a lot of baggage when he came here. If the deal is right make the trade IMO.

I saw part of the interview, but it was enough to know the guy is still a headcase. He still rationalizes his actions that started the brawl, says "I forgive him" about the guy who threw the beer instead of "I'm sorry I caused a riot." 
Bottom line is he's let his team down the last two consecutive seasons by making himself unavailable to play, and I sure don't want him on my team.

The funniest part was when they asked him about the situation, he said that "I was able to control myself when Ben Wallace came after me."
Then Gray asks "Well if you had the mechanism to control yourself after Wallace shoved you, why didn't you have the mechanism to control yourself when the beer was thrown at you?"
Artest's reply: "I have NEVER had anything thrown at me. With the exception of a few times. (uhhh, what?) But I was in a situation where beer was thrown at me, which has never happened to me before."
He contradicted himself like 4 times in a matter of seconds. The guy is a tool. I can't believe that people on this board still want him on the Kings. He's an idiot.

I totally agree, he's a head case. He needs a lot of help. I'd hate to see him here. We have enough physical problems without adding pyschological ones also.
BW how can you even compare him to Webber? Chris was no angel but at least he wasn't totally loco!!!
