Hhhmmmm... which way do I want to take this? Part of me thinks he is just giving a non-answer because he doesnt want to talk about it. ANother part of me thinks he KNOWS he wont be a Kings next year. And probably the smartest part of me just thinks Ron is crazy.

I think

From reading the story it seems as if he does not expect to be with the Kings beyond his current contract which I know pleases most in the StR. Ron is not stupid, so I think he realizes (perhaps through his agent) that the Kings realistically cannot sign him due to cap concerns (please God do not start ANOTHER cap debate here people).

On a side note, it says Ron reads the blogs so if you're reading Ron... I love you.

Ron...

I love you too. But only when you play like you've played the last few times. When you can dominate the game and still got others involved. Especially that Kevin guy, he can score the ball pretty well. If you keep doing that, then I'd really like it if you'd stay.

Also, this whole not saying too much to the media thing? That might not be such a bad idea either.

Keep it up!

Sincerely,

VFettke

It's just Ron being Ron

It helps if you resist the urge to apply logic or reason whenever you read a Ron Artest quote. Also, if you don't like what he says today, don't worry. He'll say something different tomorrow.
Ron Artest - Insanely talented.

You're missing a poll question: "I don't know."

Missing lots of options

You also need the following:

"No - I will kill him."
"No - he will kill me."
"No - There will not be a "Kings" next year. The Black Hole of Artest will suck the organization into nonexistence."
"Yes - Because we all are delusional, on some level."
