Another reminder (as if you needed one) the trade deadline's down the hall
and around the corner: Ron Artest's agent is talking to Denver TV stations
about the possibility of a trade to the Nuggets.
I believe that Denver does want Ron. The desire to make a trade is there; my
question is, what would make Sacramento do it? It's obvious that Denver needs
a piece; the question is who is the piece and how are they are going to get
it? They already got Melo, and they already got A.I. They are not giving up
Melo. They are not giving up A.I. So who would you trade for to get Ron?
The rumor that had been circulating was Artest for Linas Kleiza, Eduardo
Najera's expiring contract, and perhaps a draft pick. To we Kings fans, that
sounded fine a week ago (when Ron seemed like he was on the verge of sticking
his fist through Reggie Theus' dome).
But then ESPN's Ric Bucher decided to give a touch of credence to milling
Golden State rumors. The name 'Brandan Wright' was bandied about. I love
Linas, but... Ron's agent might be right. The offers aren't going to get
worse over the next two weeks, not with the Western Conference arms race in
full swing.
But damn, Artest between Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, with Marcus Camby
in the middle? That's a ref's wet dream.

Artest's future still remains a mystery

With less than two weeks until the NBA's trade deadline, it remains a mystery
whether Ron Artest's days in Sacramento are nearing the end he's so sure is
coming.
And although the trade talks appear to be relatively quiet, the consensus is
that a move could likely come closer to the Feb. 21 deadline, as a number of
teams see no choice but to add a potent piece of Artest's caliber down the
stretch. Sources close to the Denver Nuggets said there remains a possibility
of Artest joining Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony in the Mile High City
after the two teams had discussions in recent weeks.
Although Nuggets vice president Mark Warkentien is believed to be in favor of
acquiring Artest, the sources said coach George Karl is hesitant for a number
of reasons. He is a fan of Artest's game, the sources said, but somewhat
uneasy about losing forward Eduardo Najera in a deal in light of the
uncertain status of Nene. The Nuggets' power forward is undergoing treatment
for testicular cancer and hasn't played since Jan. 7.
In the meantime, Najera - who has an expiring contract ($4.95 million) and
would likely come the Kings' way if a deal transpired - is filling his role
and his departure would leave a void. The more pertinent question might be
whether the Nuggets would give up small forward Linas Kleiza, whose contract
($1.01 million this season, team option for 2008-09 at $1.82 million) and
upside intrigues the Kings.
The Kings might also attempt to send forward Kenny Thomas to Denver as well,
while the Nuggets are believed to be making shooting guard J.R. Smith and his
expiring contract ($2.1 million) available in the right deal. Denver isn't
the only team who could come calling about Artest, especially in a Western
Conference in which just five games separated first place and eighth place
entering Friday. And although the Artest fear factor remains for most around
the league as it pertains to his reputation, there are also those who wonder
if he could do for them what he did for the Kings when leading their
surprising playoff run in 2006.
With the trade talk relatively quiet, Artest continued to make noise in
Sacramento. His absence from Thursday's practice created a ripple effect of
sorts for Reggie Theus and his team, one that threatened to undermine the
first-year coach but was somewhat contained before Friday night's game after
a bizarre sequence of events.
After the Kings' loss to Seattle on Wednesday, sources close to the team said
a frustrated Theus told his players that anyone who missed the next day's
practice would not play against Utah on Friday. Yet Beno Udrih and Artest did
not practice, the point guard because of an illness and the small forward -
according to Theus and team officials - because of sore knees and feet.
The team sources said Theus relented on his stance Friday morning, telling
the team it wasn't fair to punish injured or sick players for not practicing.
Yet after Friday's shootaround, Artest - who had attended the practice but
didn't participate - said he wasn't sore and that he simply wanted the rest.
"I just wanted to take a day off," Artest said. "I played a lot of minutes
the other night (against Seattle), too. I think I played the most minutes on
the team (40). There was no need for me to play those minutes, play the
(power forward and small forward position), and get the ball down low and
then come practice the next day. I'm probably one of the hardest workers at
practice, too. It's not a big thing if I take off."
Theus said he could "only go by what I'm told when I ask a player face to
face," but said he's not averse to certain veterans not practicing when they
deem it necessary.
"They have to be men about what they choose to do and how they pace
themselves, and I give those guys that leeway," he said. "There are certain
guys on this team, just as there are guys on every team, that have the right
to say, 'Hey, I'm not feeling well today.' Or, 'My leg is hurting,' or
whatever, and coaches will go with their veteran players."
"Everybody's treated equal, but certain guys have the privilege of age and
being a veteran and certain accomplishments in this league. They get a little
more leeway in terms of stuff like that at this point of the season."
