Ron Artest - Monarchs Sideline Reporter

#1
According to Sacramento Kings Sam Amick's Blog - http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/

If Artest doesn't opt out, the Kings can trade him starting in July. If he does opt out, then he could obviously sign with Dallas as a free agent. As for what he might do, I've been polling people within the organization and around the league for the last week or so and the consensus remains that there is no consensus. Strangely, one of the few indicators could involve the Monarchs.
When the local WNBA squad takes the Arco Arena floor on Saturday for its season-opener against San Antonio, I've been told that Artest may be doing sideline work as a TV reporter:eek:. He'll analyze, maybe even drop a "back to you" in there somewhere and hopefully bring the same unpredictable element to his media work that is always there with his real day job. The possible relevance of this is that I can't see Artest engaging in this kind of Maloof-related hijinx if he had one foot out the Sacramento door.
What do ya'll think??
