Indian Pacers’ Ron Artest ARTEST & PACERS Artest-to-Kings deal off — for now CLEVELAND (AP) — The Ron Artest trade to Sacramento is off — for now. The Pacers had reportedly agreed to ship the volatile forward to the Sacramento Kings for Peja Stojakovic, but Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said on Tuesday night that no deal was imminent. “There is no trade right now, and there may not be a trade,” he said before Indiana played the Cavaliers in Cleveland. “There’s nothing to talk about because there is no trade.” ESPN and the Indianapolis Star had reported earlier Tuesday that the teams had agreed to the trade, which was merely awaiting league approval. But Carlisle shot down that report. “Anything involving specula- tion and ‘what’s up’ can be saved for another time,” Carlisle said. “If there is a trade at some point, you’ll hear about it.” Artest confirmed to the Star that the deal had collapsed, but he left open the possibility that something could still happen. “There’s no deal,” he told the newspaper by telephone. “It’s not that I don’t want to play there … I’m letting my agent handle things. He’s taken over things.” Artest’s agent, Mark Stevens, had told the Associated Press ear- lier Tuesday that a deal to move Matt Ryerson/The Daily Iowan Artest “is imminent, almost as Hawkeye fans rush the floor following Iowa’s 73-60 victory over 13-ranked Indiana on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2006, in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

BY BRYAN BAMONTE THE DAILY IOWAN The Iowa wrestling team is an anomaly, a one-goal-oriented group with a hitch.
