One week after expressing regret over his decision to not opt out of his contract, Kings small forward Ron Artest explained his frustration further in an e-mail sent to The Bee and ESPN this morning.
In its entirety...
"I made the comment about making a mistake on my opt out clause because I really did make a mistake. I had wrong info about extension options and it could have cost me a new deal. I was informed that the kings had me in their long term plans so that's why I decided to stay in contract. I just wanted to show loyalty. However when I spoke to the kings that was not an option and I grew frustrated with my decision immediately. I do apologize for being mistakenly frustrated with the kings. It was a mistake that I made and I will move on from. I dont know my future but I'm still a King Haters:)"- Sam Amick
