Metta World Peace Signs with Knicks

By Kenneth Teape (@teapester725)

After being passed up 14 years ago in the 1999 NBA Draft for Frederic Weis, Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, is finally returning home. After being released via the amnesty clause from the Los Angeles Lakers Saturday night, World Peace agreed to a two-year contract with the New York Knicks. The deal is worth approximately $1.6 million per year with second year being a player option. The Knicks used the remainder of their mini mid-level exception to bring World Peace aboard.
