by Tom Ziller Filed under: Kings , NBA Injuries , NBA Police Blotter , NBA Transactions The Kings, seeking a defensive veteran for the small forward position, took on Desmond Mason in advance of training camp.

Nate Jawai is on the move once again. Maybe he'll enjoy Sioux Falls more than he did Boise. View full size photo uploaded October 26, 2009 So last week was a bloodbath. Today is the deadline for NBA teams to submit their regular season rosters, and most of them knew who they were keeping awhile ago. So did pretty much everyone, really. But you'll notice I'm not talking about guys who have been waived,...

So long, Dwayne Jones View full size photo uploaded October 18, 2009 Not a whole lot this week, as most teams either have already waived most of their nonguaranteed players or are keeping them around to give their starters some rest before the long season begins. October 12 : Philadelphia 76ers - waived Stromile Swift and Sean Singletary Neither one of these players had a shot at making Philadelphia's...

Vincent Grier is one of two players invited to the Wizards' training camp. View full size photo uploaded October 2, 2009 It's another team that only invited two players, the Wizards . I already covered these guys in a past Ridiculous Transactions, but I wanted to give them a bit more shine here, because I can tell you right now that neither of these players will make the team. Vincent Grier - Grier...

Shavlik Randolph is among those trying to make the Miami roster. View full size photo uploaded October 1, 2009 I thought I'd continue the series that JDS started by taking a team-by-team look at players who have been invited to training camp (since camp has started now, all of the invites are official). These are guys who normally would show up in Ridiculous Transactions - D-Leaguers, players who have...

John Lucas will be attending the Miami Heat's upcoming training camp. View full size photo uploaded September 23, 2009 This is something that qualifies as a transactions post as well, but a lot of NBA teams are finalizing their training camp rosters, so I thought it would be worth compiling the news into semi-regular (or maybe it'll just be this one, who knows) posts rather than fanshotting every single...

Will Conroy signed with Houston yesterday. But that's not all the Rockets were up to. View full size photo uploaded September 23, 2009 I know, I know, I have a specific transactions post that I do every week. But the Houston Rockets made some roster moves yesterday involving guys who have spent time in the D-League. First, they traded James White to the Denver Nuggets for the rights of Axel Hervelle....
