※ 引述《pistonJW ( )》之銘言： : Now it's like Chris Webber situation all over again! : http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2304942 : Artest and his agent. Mark Stevens, were expected to meet Wednesday : morning in Indianapolis with team executives Larry Bird and Donnie : Walsh with the hopes the trade can be revived. : "In the last month, Ron Artest has been vehemently portrayed in an : unflattering manner in the media, specifically in the aftermath of : requesting a trade, even after it was made clear that he only spoke : out because he believed the Pacers were going to trade him to Sacramento, : a place he did not want to go to," Stevens said in a statement to ESPN's : Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday night. "Now it has become evident that this : trade was not merely speculation but something that has been at least : discussed for quite some time. : "Ron Artest did not want to be traded to Sacramento weeks ago, and he : does not want to be traded to Sacramento now. Basketball is Ron Artest's : passion. In order for Ron to fully demonstrate his natural skills and : abilities, to the best of his abilities, he not only must be in an : environment that is conducive to his growth an development as a player, : he must also ensure that his family is happy and content as well. Ron : does not believe that will be the case if he were in Sacramento. Period. : However, as mentioned earlier, Ron is deeply committed to the sport of : basketball and desperately misses playing the game he loves. If the trade : is made he will play for his new team, regardless of how he may feel about : it." : Stevens told ESPN's Greg Anthony that he thought Artest needed a stable : situation with strong leadership, and that the uncertainty about both : Kings coach Rick Adelman's future and the Kings' future in Sacramento : indicated a lack of stability that would be uncomfortable for Artest. 補上最後其中的一段.....最重要的..... If the Artest trade ultimately falls apart, the Kings will be facing an uncomfortable dynamic with Stojakovic, who has never been traded in his NBA career. During his 10-minute interview with ESPN.com, he seemed bewildered and embittered by the day's events. The two-hour bus ride to Manhattan promised to be an uncomfortable one for Stojakovic and his Kings teammates, who, two hours earlier, thought they wouldn't see him again until the next time they faced the Pacers. 有一種無奈的心酸..... -- --
