Re: Sacramento KINGS
Everyone in the NBA is a risk. Anyone can have a career ending injury on any given night and due to poor NBA contract structuring screw a team over (Allan Houston anyone). With that being said, yes Artest is a risk just like the Kings were taking a risk letting Peja having the Keys to the team. With Peja at the helm the Kings were risking of falling into oblivion.
Artest is a passionate player who has currently gotten the rest of the Kings motivated. We actually play D now. Everyone can change. Hasn't Sheed changed?
Artest might not fully change but many Kings players have in the past including Webber, Jim Jackson and Vernon Maxwell. With that being said, if Artest does blow up it'll be a huge shame. Artest is one of the best players in the league. He's taking over our team and he's not even close to being 100% (hip pointer, out of shape, doesn't know the offence fully). If he does get 100% healthy, and we add a couple of pieces next year, watch out everyone, the Kings will contend again.
