Ron Being Ron...

[pillwenney]

Yeah, especially if you heard Ron on the radio his attitude was basically "it was a mistake, but I have to live with it. It's just part of the business."

I really don't think it will be a big issue.

And why did they censor the word God?

That what I was wondering. So you can't even type the word God now, what is this country coming to? I am not even religous and I think it is ridiculous. But that's another topic.

He really speaks his mind, hehe

He'll get over it soon, and realize how it's going to be (again), until he's possibly traded at the deadline, or after this coming season. I don't have much doubt he's going to go elsewhere after this season, anyway.

Indeed.

Apology accepted (at least from me) my man

Solid post, mitch.

For once, I don't think there really even needs to be any apology or explaining on this issue. I mean, even though it does hurt the teams chances of attaining value with every word he says, I don't think anyone can argue how frustrating it is working without some sort of guarantee.

It's all in the organizations hands at this point. Time to do what's right for Ron AND the Kings. It just so happens that both things are one and the same.

His first E-mail was basically an accusation towards the Kings organization of misleading him, the whole situation is unclear, but if they didn't mislead him, he owed them this statement.
Frankly, I don't even want to know the dynamics behind his flip-floppy statements, but I wanted to know if the organization left him high and dry because it has implications on future moves.

Ron is a piece of work. I'm sure you've all heard the latest by now. I think the Kings should cut ties with him asap and move on. (And no, I don't want him on the Warriors, even though he is one of the greatest talents I've seen.)

Nah, its just Ron being Ron.

Whatever, he's not really a locker room cancer at all any more, and I certainly don't think he's a threat to ever do anything monumentally bad ever again. He just doesn't know when to shut up. It's annoying, but there are worse things. It's not like his most recent comments really brought up anything new anyway.

[SoupOrSonics]

He has a tendency to say things that most players probably only think....

[SacKingZZZ]

Ron isn't a locker room problem. His teammates love him and just from seeing him do interviews and whatnot you can tell he is a very likeable guy. However, he is very damaging to his own value as an asset.

[SactownHrtBrks8]

Im pretty tired of hearing him, pretty much, i just wish he would shut up and play

Artest will win DPOY this year

Artest will win DPOY this year

Should be a candidate going in and I could see it happening for sure, but even if he was the clear cut winner I don't think the NBA would allow it.
