Shocking...

Appearing via phone on the Stephen A. Smith show on ESPN Radio 1050 in New York, Artest said: "I'm not retiring." Citing club sources, ESPN.com's Marc Stein first reported that Artest wanted to retire at season's end. ESPN.com

There's a huge surprise. Artest spoke too soon and now is rethinking his declarative statements. Here's a crazy concept, Ron... SHUT THE FUCK UP. That's it. At all times, just shut up and don't say anything. That way I can avoid having to blind myself with a railroad spike when you inevitably say something stupid and take it back 20 minutes later. Jackass.

Great News for Livingston

From RealGM:

Back in 6-8

The gist is Livingston could be back sooner than expected and hopefully will still enjoy a long successful career. However, on the discouraging side, is the little bit about how his doctor has never seen an injury like this in 24 years in the biz. That is less than encouraging...
