Ron Artest reiterated his opinion on Monday that the Kings would be better off without him, according to the Sacramento Bee.

When asked about the job first-year Coach Reggie Theus was doing Artest told a reporter from the Bee, "He's doing good; he's doing good," Artest said. "I just think they (the Kings) would be better if I wasn't on the team. I think (Theus) would be doing much better."

When asked why he felt that way Artest cited "personnel" as his reason.

"I don't know, just personnel; just personnel," he added. "It'd be better if I wasn't on the team."
