Say that in one breath!

I am saying this: Regardless of financial situation, I believe the Kings will not and do not want to re-sign Ron Artest. Period. End of story. In fact, they might not even bring Ron back if he agreed to PAY to play for the Kings.


But you were talking about "evidence" that they felt this way. The "evidence" seems to be that you feel this way.

And what you're saying at the end there is truly ridiculous. If you can get Ron to play for you on a very cheap contract (or pay to play for you, like you said), then you keep him every single time. If nothing else, his trade value would be sky high on a cheap contract.

ANY team in the NBA would take Ron on a cheap contract. He's just a high quality basketball player. Wow that statement IS truly ridiculous. Do u think before u post? Honestly im tired of the ignorant Kings fans making these type of statements.

I hope he gets traded, even if it's for Najera+Kleiza (but please, not for Willie Green).

Now he loves the Kings, he wants to stay, and he wants to win the championship this year here :rofl:.

The Kings are the only team (maybe the Sixers too) that can offer him a good contract. That's why he loves the Kings again, and with the trade for expirings he loves the team much more. When the contract is signed, I'm sure two months later he'll ask for a trade.

Trade him and get what you can, Petrie. I'm tired of this guy.
