Someone please ask him what he was thinking when he made the Michael Jackson song that's on his myspace page.
CD you know your ratings from houston and around the world is going to drop dramatically now...artest is always a great interview but i dont think anyone wants to listen to him now
Ron's twitter: IT WAS HARD TO KNOW HOUSTON DID NOT OFFER ME A GOOD DEAL. BUT IT IS ALL GOOD. I STILL GOT LOVE FOR THEM.
I think we made a mistake not signing Ron Artest, he doesn't seem estatic about going to the Lakers even though that's a good situation, he does seem a little sad about leaving Houston. Ron Artest is an All-star in this league, we should have kept him.
good luck ron, we will miss your leadership, toughness, and bench leg thru the heart interviews... p.s. PASS kobe the ball
Nope. He just said that he wouldn't sign with Houston if they offered the same contract as LA in response to a fan email.
wtf? ron made no sense saying he wouldnt have signed the same deal with houston because COULD HAVE paid him more, the lakers couldnt have so the lakers gave him their maximum effort but the Rockets didnt. plain and simple Ron is ALL talk but chose not to come to houston
He just tried to put it in the best words he could. He didnt wanna tell the Houston fans that he went to LA because its a bigger city/hollywood/record deals/better team/chance to win a ring etc. I dont blame him though...I think
The way I took it was: Ron wanted more money from the Rockets because they wouldn't be contenders and they could have offered him more. So then he took the Lakers offer because they are contenders and gave him their maximum effort. Basically he was asking for more money from the Rockets since he wasnt going to be on a contending team and less money since the Lakers are the champs.
