Keith "Tiny" Gallon, the kind of controversial big man out of Oklahoma, is being looked at by the Boston Celtics.

Pops Mensah-Bonsu, currently working to make the New Orleans Hornets, is pretty good at basketball.

The New Orleans Hornets announced in an afternoon press release that they have waived guard Mustafa Shakur and center Darryl Watkins to cut their training camp roster down to 16 players.

In a trade that will ultimately probably only matter to myself and my fellow D-League faithful, the San Antonio Spurs have traded Curtis Jerrells to the New Orleans Hornets for a future second-round pick.

The Sacramento Kings announced today that they waived forward-center Connor Atchley, guard Joe Crawford and forward Marcus Landry from their training camp roster, effectively cutting the roster below the 15-player maximum. I expect all three players to begin the upcoming season in the NBA Development League.

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced Friday that they have waived Tweety Carter and Longar Longar, effectively reducing their roster to 17 players. Rookies Jerome Dyson and Elijah Millsap are the lone remaining players on the Thunder roster without a guaranteed contract, meaning that Oklahoma City will likely waive both players before the regular season begins to get to the 15-player limit.

"Anthony Mason Jr." has been the top Google-searched term leading people to the friendly confines here at Ridiculous Upside over the past three days, believe it or not, so I was happy that I was able to find yet another reason to talk about him even though he was cut by the Miami Heat earlier in the week.

The Washington Wizards released rookie small forward Kevin Palmer on Thursday, reducing their training camp roster to 17 players including fellow training camp invitees Cartier Martin, Adam Morrison, Lester Hudson and Sean Marks. Though the Wizards have not yet posted a press release on their website announcing Palmer's release, they did remove him from the game notes for tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

After last night's performance against the New Orleans Hornets, it doesn't seem as though Kenny Hasbrouck will ever start another game for the Miami Heat at point guard.

It isn't often that I fault players for going to Europe for a big payday instead of playing a few months in the NBA Development League because I understand that with professional basketball players, cash rules everything around them.
