As the trade deadline looms Thursday, Kings' GM Geoff Petrie said his best work - and only work - will likely begin and end with the Ron Artest trade that has surely changed his team's season.

"You're always open to looking at (trade possibilities), or what not," Petrie said Wednesday. "It's obviously a period of increased chatter, but if you're looking for the chatter box, you're going to have to go elsewhere.... With us sitting here today, it's very, very unlikely that we'll do anything."
