Artest interested in Knicks?: The New York Daily News reports that Ron Artest may be interested in playing for the Knicks in the 2008-09 season. "Who wouldn't want to?" Artest said.

Fantasy Analysis
The Knicks may have a chance to sign Artest to a five-year, $30 million mid-level exception, if he opts out of the last year of his contract with the Sacramento Kings and becomes a free agent on July 1. That contract would pay him $7.4 million. It's even a possibility the Knicks could work a sign-and-trade with Sacramento, if the Kings would agree to it. He averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Kings, but he struggled with injuries. He'll once again be worth drafting as a No. 2 forward in Fantasy next season, but you'll have to back him up with a replacement you don't mind activating for around 20 games. (Updated 06/10/2008).
