<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">For those who question if the volatile Ron Artest has matured, consider his take on the possibility of being traded. "Nobody's safe in the league," Artest said last night before the 11th All-Star Classic to benefit Wheelchair Charities Inc., at the Garden. "Guys like Tim Duncan, Shaq, Kobe won championships. Those are the only guys that should be safe. As far as me, I shouldn't be safe. I haven't done nothing. I can't even get past the first round. That's how it works." As reported exclusively by The Post's Peter Vecsey, the Pacers under new GM Larry Bird and new coach Rick Carlisle, are looking at dealing Artest to the Supersonics for Brent Barry. There have been reports that former Indiana coach Isiah Thomas was fired because he couldn't control Artest. "The way to control players, if I was a coach, and I had a player get out of line, I'd bench him," said Artest, who scored 21 points for the New York All-Stars . "That's what you do. You don't kiss nobody's rear end, because it stinks." </div> Full Article: http://www.nypost.com/sports/40033.htm
Wow. Even he thinks he should be benched. I think Zeke shoulda done that a long time ago. As for trading him for Brent Barry.. I wouldn't do it.
