Update 1/24: Artest says he’ll go anywhere and now the trade is on again. Make up your mind already. I’m beginning to hate this story.
Update 6:40 PM: Kings reject trade for Ron Artest. How come no one loves Ron-Ron?
Update: Artest traded to Kings for Peja Stojakovic. I guess Vecsey finally got one right.
We previously said that the Golden State Warriors were the last potential suckers suitors for Ron Artest but it looks like the Sacramento Kings have jumped into the fray. According to the NY Post, the trade is “exceedingly close” and just waiting for the Kings to pull the trigger. However, this was reported by Peter Vecsey “on excellent authority” so that means the trade probably won’t happen.
