I'm quite shocked that this news isn't on here, but i guess it is not official yet, but it is said to happen.
NBA front-office sources confirmed to ESPN.com that Artest will be dealt to the Rockets in exchange for Houston's first-round draft pick in 2009, ex-King Bobby Jackson (who arrives with a $6.1 million expiring contract) and the draft rights to Donte Greene. The Kings will also receive more than $1 million in cash, according to The Houston Chronicle, but the deal can't be announced before Aug. 14 because Greene is not eligible to be traded before then.
Adding Ron Artest to the frontcourt of the Rockets is going to be amazing,
The Rockets are ready to launch for the coming season.
Donte Greene who was having a promising summer and maybe even a future player for the Rockets being traded away for quite a big name. Bobby Jackson has been all over the place in teams and is now back with the Kings.
The Kings have now a bright future, they have lost a few veterans in the past season or two, but they have gained so much young talent.
Thoughts on this trade?
