Bibby Would Prefer To Stay

The odds of Mike Bibby and Ron Artest being in the same uniform appear to be long.

There have been reports about Artest for Corey Maggette trade discussions taking place and Bibby's name was believed to be involved in the Allen Iverson talks.

"I'd probably be a little upset (if he was traded)," he said. "(Sacramento) is close to home (in the Phoenix area). I've been here for a while. I like playing here, so I'd probably be upset."

Eric Musselman spoke with Bibby about their offense and they decided to open things up similarly to how they were when Rick Adelman was the head coach.

"We've tried to do everything we can," Musselman said. "We get the ball in his hands, we added the corner series after he and I had a conversation. ... We feel he'll have a breakout game, and that will carry over."
