RealGM:Charles Barkley reported that the Kings and Indiana Pacers have renewed discussions about a swap involving Peja Stojakovic and Ron Artest.
"Ask Geoff," Kings co-owner Joe Maloof said as he hurried toward his office, knowing that Petrie is as frozen-lipped as a statue.
Pressed about possible personnel moves the other day, Petrie replied tersely, "There are no trades in the works."
Regardless of whether he remains with the Kings, or even re-signs with the Kings, Stojakovic is at an obvious crossroads. The absence of emotion is crippling his career. The obvious lack of confidence is overwhelming his skill.
Pacers would shoot themselves in the foot if they do this. Artest is their best defender and even though they want Peja to be their Reggie Miller, I wouldn't trade possibly the best perimeter defender in the league.
