God they talked about this forever... my question is what took so long to pull the trigger... in other news..

Damned Kevin mchale... we aren't going to get shit this year.. I promise you garnett wants out at the end of the season. He won't pull the trigger on francis either. God we suck...

I feel your pain as a knicks fan. I just am praying that we don't make any moves and hold out until next year and make a run at a good free agent (Lebron)

I hate isaiah thomas but at least he pulls a trigger (albeit the wrong one, numerous times).... we just wallow in our own pathetic sorrow.

good deal for both teams

maybe now the kings can actually be decent, with all that talent on that team they are turning into the timberwolves of last year

mike james or jalen rose and first round pick any1?

C-Brad Miller
PF-Shareef Abdur-Rahim
SF-Ron Artest
SG-Bonzi Wells
PG-Mike Bibby

If they could pick up Michael Finley if he opts out after this year (Wells is a free agent), and improve their bench, that is a real good team.

a million reasons but i live near lower merion and i've hated him since then

good trade. even though peja hasn't been playing real great this year, hopefully the move will get him going again. and this backcourt with peja and jasikevicius should be interesting.

atleast sacramento will become a better defensive team.

peja isnt a guard
hes listed as a f-g, but i know he plays the 3 most of the time
what i meant was it will be interesting to see them play together

Peja and O'Neal? That will be a pretty solid combo, if peja can ever get that 3 ball stroke back.

You got that right. Artest brings much needed toughness and attitude to this team along with superb defense... Should turn the Kings around...

haha...i don't think i can argue that

steve nash makes movies with bow wow, ray allen makes movies with denzel

I doubt Ron will be in Sacramento for long, Stephen A just reported that Artest does not want to play for the Kings, so he may be trying to force a trade from the Kings. But, if not traded, Artest will still report to Sacto.

Drew Beringer

01/24/06, 03:24 PM

Haha ESPN just reported that Kings take back the trade or some shit.

Nope. Artest swung like a pussy in Detroit and didn't connect. JO blasted the fuck out that fat dude who ran unto the court.

Still wasn't a solid punch, JO's hit was way better. Believe me, living in Indianapolis, I saw this replays millions upon millions of times.

I am so mad that the trade is off. I was glad to be rid of him and glad to get Peja. DAMN HIM!

I know how you feel, I'm gonna start punching babies soon. Best bet now is to get a third team involved. I really want Artest to get traded to the Lakers because, while a lot of people think he would like it there, he would fuckin go crazy (not in a good way). The reason he wanted to leave Indiana was because he wasn't getting enough shots, so send him to LA to see what it really feels like to get no shots. Fuckin bastard.

Brownpants06

01/24/06, 04:23 PM

Bah, Artest is such a demanding asshole, especially for someone whos pretty damn overrated.

01/24/06, 04:31 PM

So does the NBA have something sorta like the 10-5 rule in MLB or can Artest just veto whatever he wants?

JO's dragon punch was the greatest thing in NBA history.

SePaMc

01/24/06, 07:17 PM

i'm a kings fan. this trade was talked about last year before the incident, so I expected it to go down. Why it took 40 days to happen and then a few hours to rescind is the part that pisses me off.

I'm with all the indy fans: Fuck Artest. Cocky asshole doesn't even love the game, just wants his shit.

This sucks for Peja. Kings players were already talking about welcoming Artest and wishing Peja good luck with Indy....and now he's sitting in a hotel in Philly watching his still current team play without him after they asked him to stay behind.

wow after finally seeing the video of this fight I stand behind Artest and the rest of the Pacers 110%. Its total bullshit seeing those neanderthal fans react that way, especially that fat negro punching the one pacer from behind. I am totally shocked that Larry Brown would coach again after seeing what his team and fans did. Ben Wallace shouldve got a MUCH stiffer penalty then Artest.
