Forward Ron Artest, on the verge of becoming a Houston Rocket via trade, has swapped agents, according to Ian Thomson of Sports Illustrated.

David Bauman, who replaces Mark Stevens, said he received the signed agent papers from Artest on Thursday morning. "I look forward to working with Ron," said Bauman, who will be seeking a lucrative contract for Artest when he becomes a free agent in 2009.
