Artest headed west.

The Indiana Pacers finally unloaded Ron Artest to the Sacramento Kings yesterday. The question I have is why the hell anyone would want this guy? When a guy as legendary as Larry Bird publicly supports you and then you bail on him it says a lot about your character. Artest has torpedoed the Pacers for two year's running and has never shown the least bit of contrition for going into the stands last year in Detroit to pummel on fans. Only the Maloof's would be willing to take a chance on this guy. When you own The Palms in Vegas and you have the money they do, I guess you can take the gamble. But Ron-Ron isn't going to go over to well in a quiet place like Sac town. The guy can play when he wants to, but he is not worth the headaches. The Pacers got Peja Stojakovic in return, though I'm sure it hardly matters to them who they got.
