Since Sacremento is 18-24 and Indiana is 21-20, I believe that the Pacers will benefit better from this trade than the Kings. As much as Ron Artest is a great basketball player, I do not think he can do much for the Kings. I mean Sacremento is last in their divison, and the season is almost halfway over. It's going to take a mircale for the Kings to turn it around. On the other hand, Indiana has a better chance at the playoff that Artest is gone. They accquired Peja Stojakovic. Peja can drive, penetrate, post-up, and shoot the long-bomb. My prediction for the Pacers is the #5 seed in the East.
Artest Finally Dealt to Kings
