The one morning I don't read Ben Maller, this is the lead NBA rumor:
Ron Artest could be traded this weekend, according to Clippers broadcaster Michael Smith on FSN West 2. Smith reported that the Indiana Pacers were close to a deal that would send Artest to the Sacramento Kings. The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers were mentioned, but considered long shots.
Ummm...
(Orlando preview coming shortly.)
