Ron Artest not going to England

Ron Artest wont be jumping across the pond any time soon.

In a phone interview with ESPNLosAngles.com, Bauman said a deal is far from reality at this point after plans to play for Cheshire Jets or Glasgow rocks while filiming a movie in England.


“I told him, ‘Ron, the league over there is not strong enough to really give you the competition that you want. Even though that makes sense from a (convenience standpoint), it doesn’t make sense from a basketball perspective.”

Buman goes on to say
“England is probably the 10th or 12th best league in Europe. That isn’t going to make sense. If we do Europe, it’s going to be Israel, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Italy or maybe France. … When we spoke about the lockout, Ron said, ‘Find me the best teams.’

Well even though my hopes have been dashed atleast the BBL got some publicity
