Ron Artest is at it again.
The Kings small forward who has been doubling as a radio and TV personality of late is scheduled to go on with KHTK's Carmichael Dave again tonight for another round of late-night merriment. This time it will be by phone at around 9:30 p.m., Dave tells me, as Artest is out of town.
Last time, however, it was three hours of studio time that was supposedly pretty rich. Truthfully, I haven't listened yet, but all of the content is readily available here.
On a more serious interview note, Kings assistant Chuck Person departs for Chicago tomorrow to interview for the Bulls' head coaching job. While Person declined to comment on the matter, a team source tells me he will meet with general manager John Paxson over the weekend. He is one of four candidates who will be interviewed this week, with more expected next week in Orlando during pre-draft camp.
The Bulls' job was already a highly-coveted one because of the young and athletic roster, but the job looks even better after Chicago jumped from the No. 9 spot in Tuesday's draft lottery to land the No. 1 pick. Bulls general manager John Paxson, who fired interim coach Jim Boylan on April 17, told the Chicago media that he's taking his time with the coaching search.
"I have nothing to lose," Paxson said. "I want to listen to philosophies. All the guys I have coming in, I've told them I want to know what you're about basketball-wise, how you're going to teach, how you're going to connect and communicate with players. I'm not in a hurry. When I know it's right, it's going to be right."
Person was expected to be considered for the New York Knicks opening before Mike D'Antoni became available and was quickly given the position. - Sam Amick

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com
Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
