Kings star won't confirm report he wants to spend more time with family

Mercurial forward Ron Artest wouldn't confirm or deny that he has told some Sacramento Kings teammates wants to retire at the end of the season to spend more time with his family, ESPN reported Sunday.

Artest told several teammates this week he wants to quit the NBA, ESPN reported, citing unnamed team sources.

"We can talk about it after (the) playoffs," Artest said by e-mail when asked about retiring, ESPN reported.

Artest is currently facing four misdemeanor charges stemming from a domestic dispute with his wife earlier this month.

A judge also has ordered him to stay at least 100 yards away from his wife and children until further notice.

Artest’s attorney, William Portanova, entered pleas of not guilty to charges of battery and corporal injury to a spouse, false imprisonment and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.

Artest is due back in court April 5.

GOOD!!! David Stern should send him a thank you card.
 
Yeah seriously, good riddance. The NBA will be a much better place without him in it. *waits for negative Kobe comments*
 
He may take some time off, but he can make way to much money by playing. Trust me this break will be short for sure.
 
This guy is crazy, man.

There's really nothing else that you can say.........
 
Its a small step but the NBA is a better place without Ron Artest.

It would be a great first move in the right direction of helping fix the image of this broken league. Artest is doing Stern a huge favor if he does retire
 
This guy is a really good defender, when he wants to be. But obviously he has some serious anger issues he needs to work out, before the NBA should even let him play in the league. Thats what I would do if I were Stern, but Artest is a name, and a name=$$$, so of course Stern wouldnt expel him from the game unless he has another explosion on court, but its only a matter of time before he explodes again. He's a ticking time bomb. Tell you the truth, I think he would do well with Pat Riley, giving Riley's talent for keeping egos of all sorts at check.

He wants more time to beat on his wife and work on his rap albums. :rolleyes:
 
Artest is the kind of moron giving the NBA a bad name. Casual fans see the league as full of thugs, rightly or wrongly, and players like him are why. I know lots of people who used to watch the NBA and don't anymore because of degenerates like Artest.

Perhaps he is contemplating retirment so as to spend more time beating his wife or not feeding his dogs. However, we won't be so lucky, and this bum will be back in all likelihood.
