As first reported by the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen, the NBA's Houston Rockets are set to acquire forward Ron Artest in a multi-player trade with the Sacramento Kings.

A nine-year veteran of the league, Artest joins recently acquired guard Brent Barry as a new Rocket, bringing more talent and experience to help Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. The Kings reportedly get guard Bobby Jackson, rookie forward Donte Green, a draft pick next year and $1 million cash.
