    The trade negotiations are preliminary and are not a finalized deal. Neither player has balked at the possibility. The considerations and financial repercussions for teams can ripple for years and must be well thought through by the legal minds. I think Artest would like to play in the Western conference for a team whose owners love their players. Peja needs a fresh start and with Rick Carlisle and Larry Bird he can be the man he was in 2003-2004. I have always thought the Kings bungled the return of Chris Webber.
    Peja was like a Porsche which was put up in the garage when Webber returned. The Maloofs should have traded Webber right away or packaged Peja and Christie within 3 months of the obvious terrible team chemistry.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting AznxBaller:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't understand this. Who care's what Artest thinks? Don't players that don't report get fined a lot of money so its not like he has too much of a choice in this. Is there something I'm missing here?</div>

    Well, if you're the Toronto Raptors you pay to buyout Alonzo's contract and give in to his demands for a trade when he refuses to report after a trade. [​IMG]

    Seriously, players are given way too much power nowadays. They should not be able to determine where they want and don't want to play.

    After Ron Artest tells the Indiana Pacers he doesnt want to be traded to the Kings tommorow morning, the Pacers will beg the Lakers for a trade that would send Artest + Croshere for Lamar Odom.

    Artest is going to a meeting on Wednesday to try to revive the deal. But, Artest says NO no matter what. We'll see what happens.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">No Artest is a genius he is lowering his trade value for the inevitable Slava for Artest blockbuster.</div> So very true. He is officially my LEAST favorite player BY FAR! I geniunely hope the worst for him. Kick him out of the league for good Stern. SAC will look pretty to good to Artest when hes ballin in Turkey.

    About the music - I hope he never makes a cd... I heard one of his songs and I was like that's the lameness of Chingy and the awful lyrics of G-unit combined. All of these NBA-rappers should quit because they have nothing to rap about. I also heard Kobe, Shaq and Iverson rap... all garbage.
