I think that, especially if the Kings don't turn things around and become a playoff team with a chance to compete for the Western Conference finals (which I think would be tough for them to do), Artest will become a ticking time bomb. It's a shame, because he's one of the few guys out there with the talent and desire to play hard-core defense, but I'm afraid his mental/emotional makeup is lacking. In some ways I see him like Dennis Rodman was, but without a strong enough coach and strong enough team leaders (like Rodman had on the Pistons, Spurs, and even more so the Bulls) to reign him in and demand his respect. I'm not sure the Pacers became a better team, but I'd be more nervous about the deal if I were the Kings.
