Artest, 28, is considered one of the NBA??s most unpredictable characters and was the central figure in a 2004-05 brawl with fans in Auburn Hills, Mich. He is also considered among the league??s toughest lock-down defenders and sometimes, an unstoppable offensive force. The 39 points he scored against the Rockets in 2006-07 season is his career high.

A 6-foot-7, 248 pound forward, he had publicly lamented his decision last month not to opt out of the last season of his contract to become a free agent, renewing the Kings?? efforts to move him.
