"You will be loved dearly by these fans until you screw up."

He will at some point--that much is certain. Hopefully he won't ruin an entire season (or 2) as he did here in Indy.

Welcome Ron Ron. Sacramento Fans back you no matter what. I for one am ECSTATIC to see you hear in Sacramento. It's the dawn of a new day. I'll be getting a replica jersey made soon with your name and number on it.

 

[Purple Reign]

Man, Petrie has guts!!! I wanted this trade to happen, but I never thought that he had the guts to pull the trigger on such a risk.

Welcome ron to Sac, Petrie you are alright in my book!!!

I bought my son a replica Pacers jersey for his Bday in October and he picked Artest's--since he and RonRon (Artest's son) play on the same junior bball team. What a waste of $$ that was. Hopefully you will be able to use your jersey for more than a month. Good luck

Welcome Ron! We ARE the best, most accepting fans in the NBA AND if you want to score this team will let you. If you defend the crowd will love you. If you want to start clean this is the place that will let you.

"pending all the official work"??

did i miss something? is it official?

 

[KingKong]

Wow, quite unbelievable. Wasn't so sure Petrie would actually pull the trigger on his golden boy. Atleast this puts an end to all the "Peja vs." threads. Peja thanks for all the memories and welcome Ron.

nba has not approved it yet, and they both have to take their physicals & pass. Basically it's a sure thing unless the physicals don't go well.

 

[tyrant]

cool. now when is bonzi comming back?

 

[BigWaxer]

Welcome "home" Ron.

Just like Webb you have a unique opportunity to make an entire community love and embrace you. I don't care what happened in the past. It's what you do this day forward, we / us fans are ready for you to let us call you a TRU KING!

the physical part isn't the problem with RA--unfortunately, they don't do "mentals"--he would fail. He is insane--a 6 year old trapped in a 28 year old's body.

Can you post all your negative Artest stuff in a different thread please? This thread was created to welcome him, not degrade him. There are plenty of other threads to bash him on and I know you know where they are.

Thanks.

 

[JJ22L]

Has Artest made a statement or anything? When someone hears that please post it, i dont get cable.

 

[starks]

now this team is definitely !@#$% up....100%

The trade is pending league approval as all trades do, and physicals. Other than that it is done.

Sorry--didn't mean to be negative--just trying to add some insight. I do like RA--know him personally--he is a good guy and has terrific talent. I hope it all works out. I would certainly expect him to be on his best behavior. The defense is going to get considerably better. Kobe won't score 40 on RA--that is for sure.
