If this is true, wouldn't that really piss off the Lakers? They could have let him retire and then used their amnesty provision on Gasol
If it does happen to be true, my first reaction would be sadness. My second reaction would be joy that retirement would leave him more time to do crazy **** for me to read about. Insert pic of Artest being pulled over in an F1 racer here.
I want him to get a reality show. I hate reality shows, but I think his would be insane if he didn't have to worry about breaching a contract with a team.
Ron is saying this so when he get's amnestied, no one will bid on him from waivers. That we can can sign with whomever he wants.

This. It's pretty obvious what his tactic is. He wants to go to new York but they don't have money to bid on him from waivers.
