The 2009 NBA draft is over. Now it's on to the next phase of the offseason. Free agency begins Wednesday, and teams will begin trying to eliminate voids in their rosters that can't be filled by rookies who are not ready to contribute. Having drafted guard Tyreke Evans and Omri Casspi in the first round and forward Jon Brockman in the second round helps the Kings at guard, on the wing and up front....

Here's a very handy list of all the free agents that will be hitting the market in July. They even have a page sorted by position . Why don't we pool our collective wisdom and start picking some favorites? As you make comments, I can update this list. So far I've just tried to narrow the list down to guys that interest me and start lumping them into vague groupings. (r = restricted | eto = early termination...

This is actually kinda sad. Goodbye Rashad McCants, Ike Diogu, Calvin Booth, Cedric Simmons and Kenny Natt. Goodbye 2008-09. Go Kings. Just go.

Some might point to Atlanta's 42-point second quarter as the cause malheureux , but the mother of all bad offensive sequences can really be to blame. First, the second quarter. The Hawks weren't terribly good on offense, and the Kings weren't terribly bad. Donté Greene and Calvin Booth had to play substantial minutes in the second due to foul trouble. Greene cannot guard Al Horford. Booth cannot...

Calvin Booth is more than an expiring contract. He knows that, even if the box scores don't. The journeyman center, 32, traded to Sacramento on Feb. 19 from Minnesota, hasn't played in six games with the Kings, which hardly surprises Booth, who played a grand total of one minute in 53 games with the Timberwolves before coming here. He is, in NBA speak, an expiring contract, one of six Kings acquired...

Calvin Booth Basics: The 32-year-old center is in his 10th season and with his seventh team. He has played one minute this season. Contract situation: Contract expires after this season. Prediction: Depending on how the roster plays out, the Kings could be looking for veterans who are known as good character guys to serve as locker room glue. Booth could fill that role relatively cheaply, or he could...

The Wolves traded Rashad McCants and Calvin Booth (40 seconds of play for the Wolves, ever) for failed Duke product Shelden Williams and point guard Bobby Brown. Certainly a "no lose" situation for the Wolves. McCants was a horrible cancer who refused to play hard, and Booth will be out of the NBA when his contract expires. The acquisition of Bobby Brown is intriguing. As I noted in an earlier...

Mostly because I'm getting a little sick to my stomach looking at the possibility of Calvin Booth as the top story on Celticsblog, here's an update from SI.com's Chris Mannix: Not surprisingly, there will be no deadline-day trade for the Celtics, according to a source close to the team. Boston is holding out hope that Joe Smith will stay with the Thunder through the deadline and then negotiate a buyout,...

The source added that if Booth is waived by Sacramento, the Celtics could be interested in signing him to fill their open roster spot. The 6-foot-11, 230-pounder played just one game for Minnesota this...
