Artest Most Likely To Opt Out

[.GR]

Ron Artest can make $8.4 million next season if he exercises his option and stays with the Kings. Think he's going to do that? Listen. "I'm definitely underpaid," he told reporters in Indianapolis on Saturday. "I guess if somebody was going to bet their house on it, they'd bet that I'll opt out." You think? Actually, if you really want to be smart about it, bet that the Kings will trade Artest before the deadline. He has a lot of trade value and the Kings would be smart not to let him leave for nothing. By the way, among the teams Artest is listing now as potential future homes -- Detroit, Miami, New York, Indiana, Sacramento.

Yea but this upcoming season isn't a good time to get new contracts.
A lot of teams arent going to be able to sign players.
So they will most likly sign cheap or for like 2 years.

Kings need to trade him before he leaves for nothing. Plus, we need to invest in Garcia and Salmons IMO.
