Artest is going to lose $4 million dollars because of what is basically what started with the behavior of the fans. It is also clear the Artest is really not that interested in playing basketball and might want to sue to get damages to recover what he will lose.

You seem to want to make this about Artest. There were other players at this game. There is the NBAPA that is out there going to fight this issue. There are some labor issues that will come more to the surface over time. There is talk about a lockout and issues based on the CBA.

Money will exchange hands. It might be in ways you are not aware of. Of course there are fans that can sue, but so can players. The Pistons might have to worry about this coming from all sides.
