Artest tells Sam Amick of the Sac Bee that he's made a 100 degree turnaround about opting out - didn't know he'd be wanted so badly.

Amick calls Artest's agent who says he's a King right now - nothing announced.

100 degree turnaround



This is the genius so many fans want? He can't even turn fully around in the opposite direction how is he going to sprint back on transition D?

Should be a lot of fireworks.

Wonder if Portland will figure out a way to dominate the draft again...

No Steven A Smith this year, nor Dan Patrick.

Jeff Van Gundy, Marc Jackson, Jay Bilas ... and (lazy eye) Stuwart Scott.

Any news about us possibly acquiring a second round pick from Seattle? They only have six picks in this draft.

Portland insider says a trade is imminant. They have 5 picks and only 1 roster spot.

I thought I was hearing things. That's a pretty good deal. I'm surprised they turned it down. They get a PG to run the offense, an athletic wing player in Gay, and the number 5 pick.

For some reason I have always had the idea that Javaris will end up in a Heat jersey. They did tell him that they were going to draft him, and he has been on two teams that were deep in the pg position. Guess we'll see where his future is. Funny thing is, Conley looked like their worse pg easily. Lowry looked the best, and the most ready to run a team right now. JC showed the more skill than Conley, but both look like they are a ways away from running their own team.

Yes, it did. Just hope no one else can suck from that Memphis teet, too.

They've got a reporter with the last name of Nix covering the Knicks. I guess they didn't want to get confused.
