I've been reading a lot on this, the Pacers have barred him from any Pacer functions, and he is "dead" to them. And if they do not find the trade that they like, he still will not play this year, he is 100% done as a Pacer.
They all feel betrayed by him since they stood by him and defended him over last year and all the other crap he has done the past 5 years. As Oneal said he thought that he and Ron had "grown closer this past year then ever before" and then Artest goes to the press and stabs everyone in the back.
No one wants him on the Pacer roster, and last night he was on a radio show and it is said he was regretful on how he blabbed to the press and even got a shot in in Magic.

He contradicts himself saying the main reason is he’s not getting the ball enough but then says he would like to backup LeBron…umm…..
I’ve read a few ideas on who/where and my favorite is for Al Harrington who should never have been traded. I have also seen Vince Carter’s name pop up. I still would rather have a solid Defensive player over a shooter unless that shooter is a big time shooter.
Ron has said he expects the trade to be done this weekend, so we will see.
He is a damn good player and I will miss his play, but enough already, maybe he and TO can start a group….
