Ron Artest: Could be Traded Before Thursday's Deadline - 2/20/2008 7:44:09 AM
Update:
Artest might be headed to Denver in a trade, but only if Nuggets small forward Linas Kleiza is included in a deal, the Sacramento Bee reports. Artest can opt out of his contract at the end of the season, leaving the Kings empty-handed.
Recommendation:
"I don't think the plan was ever to unload any of our guys and not get something that works for this team," Kings coach Reggie Theus said. "So unless something really comes up that's a great deal, we may not do anything.” Theus and President Geoff Petrie are straight shooters, so it’s quite possible they are more than willing to risk getting nothing in return for their small forward if he isn’t dealt. They have maintained Artest is more valuable compared to the players and draft picks other teams have been able to offer in a package.
