"Artest Tweets Are Fake" Says Agent

[Swish14]

According to Ron Artest's agent David Bauman, a Twitter account posing as his client has been posting "false information" and misleading the media.

"There is an imposter posting information that is not accurate. Nothing has been finalized and someone has been posting false reports on Twitter," Bauman said early Thursday morning in an exclusive interview with Alex Kennedy.

The account "96TruwarierQB", which Twitter has marked as "verified" as Artest, has posted several updates in the last twenty-four hours including several that mention the forward leaving the Rockets and possibly joining the Lakers.

"THANKS A LOT HOUSTON. I HAD A LOT OF FUN," said one posting Wednesday night. "I'm signing my new deal as I'm Twittin'" and "we are playing pool at lamar odums barn in hollywood."

Hahah it's a verified account and he's been using it for a while now, ie that adam morrison comment the night the Lakers won the 'ship, plus Artest talked about using his twitter to mess with people in his radio interview. Artest was just drinking it up last night and the agent was trying to cover the comments up.

The tweets are fake

The twitter account is not. I guess the agent has no knowledge of what Artest is twittering.
