Hey Pacers season ticket holders!

"I've still got my album coming out Nov. 23. After the album comes out, I'm going to make sure all of my time is focused on winning a championship."

-Ron Artest, explaining his request for time off to promote his rap album

This just boggles my mind. Other than trading him, I have no idea what a coach or GM should do with a player that doesn't want to play. Suspend him? Put him on IR? He *wants* time off. Play him? Yeah, like he'll really be focused on the court.

Here's the chance for management to make a statement against players. Cut him. Straight out. The problem is that I saw a stat yesterday that shows they are at a .670 winning percentage and about .522 without him. My bet is he stays.
