…how about some NBA trade winds now that Allen Iverson has a new home (where he is saying and doing all the right things so far). Like, say, some trade rumors around Ron Artest? You betcha. From the LA Times:

“The Kings apparently are having problems with swingman Ron Artest, and Corey Maggette is eager to play elsewhere because of his poor relationship with Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy. An Artest-Maggette trade could be just what each team needs, and sources said the Clippers and Kings are motivated to move quickly. The players have similar contracts, so there aren’t salary-cap problems to complete a deal.”

The funny part of that quote is in the first part of the first sentence, the one that reads “The Kings apparently are having problems with swingman Ron Artest” … Shocking. I am shocked. Shocked, I say. Stunned. Uber-stunned. Stunnish.
