Kings Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Earlier this summer, Ron Artest lamented—among other things—the Kings‘ decision to not re-sign coach Rick Adelman after the 2005-06 season.
The small forward said it was a hindrance to his personal career momentum, as he had led the Kings in a second-half resurgence that season with Adelman calling the shots from his courtside seat. Artest, however, isn’t complaining anymore.
Artest was traded to Houston on Aug. 14 and will be reunited with Adelman. The deal, which was agreed to on July 29, brings rookie Donte’ Greene to Sacramento along with veteran point guard Bobby Jackson and a 2009 first-round draft pick. Greene was taken by Memphis with the 28th pick, then traded to Houston on draft night in a three-team deal also involving Portland.
