The Goods Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 So, Ron Artest is soon to be a Los Angeles Laker. Of course, he tweeted about it. Lots of tweets, in fact. But one tweet before the deal was announced raised some eyebrows. On the night of July 1, Artest dropped this: "THANKS A LOT HOUSTON I HAD A LOT OF FUN." Remember, the deal wasn't announced till Thursday. So was Artest hinting at something early here? Did he have information he was already on his way to another squad, but things weren't quite finalized? Nope. Not according to his agent, David Bauman. "That is not Ron's account," Bauman told the Houston Chronicle. "That's what happens with the so-called new media." Except it is actually Artest's account. We know this because he has the verified account icon on it. We know this because he's posted several photos of himself on there, ones only he/someone very close to him would be able to snap. We know this because in this video, Artest talks about tweeting about signing a multi-hundred thousand dollar deal, and that tweet is on the account in question. We know this because on that same video, Artest's Twitter name @96TruwarierQB, pops up near the beginning in text. And where would one find a link to that video? On the Twitter account in question.
