Rockets agree to send Jackson, pick, player to Kings for Artest
Updated: July 29, 2008, 9:47 PM ET
Ron Artest didn't opt out then doubted his decision. It looks like that might
be a moot point.
Multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday that the Sacramento Kings had
agreed to trade the forward to the Rockets.
The Houston Chronicle reported that the Kings would receive Bobby Jackson, a
No. 1 draft pick in 2009 and another player that the newspaper's source could
not identify. KRIV television in Houston reported that the Kings will also
receive cash.
"Yes, it has been tentatively agreed upon," said Artest's agent, Mark
Stevens, according to KRIV. "Now it has to be confirmed by the league office
and until that is done, it's not official."
Two weeks ago, Artest told ESPN.com that he was unhappy with himself for not
opting out of his deal and becoming a free agent before the July 1 deadline.
He hoped to be traded to "a team out there that can be more committed than
Sacramento to me."
In Houston, Artest would team with Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming to form one of
the toughest trios in the NBA. With Yao injured much of the season, the
Rockets finished 55-27 last season, good for third in the Southwest Division.
They lost in the first round to the Utah Jazz in six games.
When told of the deal, McGrady was ecstatic.
"I couldn't be more happy," McGrady said, according to KRIV. "Pleased at how
the organization is trying to improve this team, get the help that Yao and
myself really need to really get to where we want to be and that's one of the
elite teams in this league.
"If this is true, this is definitely what I have been waiting on for 11 years
in my career, for a team to really improve and put the talent [on the floor]
that I feel that we can compete with the best."
Injuries held Artest to only 57 games last season, but he averaged 20.5
points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game for the 38-44 Kings. Sacramento
traded point guard Mike Bibby during the season last year and dealing Artest
shows that the team is in full rebuilding mode under second-year coach Reggie
Theus.
"He brings a mental and physical toughness" McGrady said, according to KRIV.
"He brings a guy that competes at a high level on the basketball court.
Defensively, he's tough. Offensively, he is a force to be reckoned with. He's
probably one of the most difficult guys to guard on the perimeter because of
his size, because of his strength."
Jackson, who split his time between New Orleans and Houston last season,
averaged 7.7 points per game. This would be his second stint with the Kings
where he had his most productive years of his career from 2000 to 2005.
