A few interesting names have already been cut, and with more coming soon I figured I make a thread for it.
The Kings have a lot of depth, but I still think we have a definite need in the frontcourt. As we saw when Robinson was out against the Lakers during our last preseason game, pairing Travis Outlaw and Chuck Hayes is something that should never happen.
The first name that caught my eye is Daniel Orton. Is he any good? hard to say. He hasn't really had a chance, but he's big. He's has Kentucky connections with Cousins. I'd give him a look.
But the name I really like that looks like a recent casualty of the Harden deal is Jajuan Johnson. Reports are that the Rockets will cut him, and while he isn't 'big' he is certainly tall. He is a very good defensive player. He was the Big 10 defensive player of the year his senior season. He showed flashes while in Boston, and if he reaches some level of his potential, he could make a lot of sense next to Cousins. His per36 numbers are very respectable. He's still only 23. He'll land on some roster, and I'd really like it to be ours. Could potentially fill the 'weak-side shotblocker' role we are currently missing. He spent a lot of time with KG during his rookie season, and that can only help.
Speaking of the Rockets .. they still have about 20 players on their roster. With Cole Aldrich and Jon Brockman as other potential cuts, they are names we could look at.
