Artest Regrets Not Opting Out

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Before announcing his decision, Artest said last week: "Even if I was to opt out, which probably won't happen, I will never accept a mid-level exception. So people trying to figure out possibilities should get that out of their heads."

Funny, I remember another player with a boat and a hungry family to feed who once said something somewhat similar.

"My basketball skill and my character and community work speaks for itself," Artest said. "I believe in them and believe it can work for an organization."

I hope Artest goes to the Lakers for Odom? Then Kobe will have a running mate on the road when a woman needs to be put in her place!
