"I know we're going to be playing in April. I've been playing too long to be not making the playoffs. Especially two years in a row. I've been playing too long. I've got to get in the playoffs."</p> </p> Artest has an early-termination option in his contract that allows him to become a free agent this offseason. Although he has not indicated whether he will opt out, his 2008-09 salary of $8.45 million is considered by many to be below market value. -- <font color="#000000">Sacramento Bee</font></p> </div></p>
Well, Artest, I want to come down to Sacramento, and bet you $10,000 you won't make the playoffs.</p>
