Answer 1

Answer 2

I was not liking this trade very much until i read another article about why the Kings would actually do this trade, and i have to say, it made sence to me. The article says...

"At first glance it seems as if the Kings gave up on Artest too easily, that his value was sliding like the real-estate market and they were so afraid they wouldn't get anything back before he left as a free agent that they dumped him to the first reasonable bid. Also, they didn't succeed in dumping the two years and $16.5 million remaining on Kenny Thomas' contract. But after hearing it explained to me by a source familiar with Sacramento's thinking, it makes sense.

They weren't going to win a championship with Artest. They weren't going to win a championship with whatever key player they got for Artest. By going for draft picks and the expiring contract of Jackson, they're sticking with their long-term strategy of good young players until they can be major players in the 2010 free-agent market. That summer they can have Beno Udrih, Kevin Martin, Spencer Hawes, Jason Thompson, Quincy Douby, Greene and three more draft picks under contract, plus some $25 million-plus in salary-cap room".  

This would let the Kings dip into the vast free agent market in the 2010 offseason, which includes such players as LeBron, Amare, Wade, and many others.

Answer 3

he just never got better ever since he left.

Answer 4

he doin gud
