jbizzle09 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Rumors swirling that Willie Reed has been signed by the Kings. 10-day thing? Summer league thing? Any truths to the rumors? Per Sacramento, they invited him to play in the summer league for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Good for him. Hopefully he parlays this into a spot on a D-League or a good situation overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 He was supposed to be on the roster last week. Now he isn't on there. Must have been cut early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 For some reason Willie is not on the summer league team...interesting. Now he is saying he is going to be at training camp for the Kings but isn't playing in the summer league for them. Take that info with a big huge grain of salt.

slu72 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Ah, Willie, we could have used thee, and you could have used us to hone your game and maybe make it in the NBA. See ya in Uruguay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Ah, Willie, we could have used thee, and you could have used us to hone your game and maybe make it in the NBA. See ya in Uruguay. I am almost to the point of feeling bad for Willie. But not really. The guy at some point has to stop surrounding himself with the people that keep giving him TERRIBLE advice. All the way from his senior year in high school to present day, bonehead decisions all the way. Airtime should have busted showtimes ass to get back in the classroom...

jbizzle09 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Why isn't Willie playing overseas? He could be making money and honing his game. He had to get some surgery of his knee, if I recall. He had signed with a team in Europe a while ago but came back shortly afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 http://www.nba.com/kings/news/2012-13-sacramento-kings-training-camp-roster Willie is on the training camp roster. I think most NBA teams carry 12 guys maybe so I'm guessing 6 guys will be cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Man Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 http://www.nba.com/k...ing-camp-roster Willie is on the training camp roster. I think most NBA teams carry 12 guys maybe so I'm guessing 6 guys will be cut. I would love to see how Willie measures up in camp playing against the likes of DeMarcus Cousins and Thomas Robinson. I think the best case scenario involves Willie snagging the 12th man role. He could be the black Paul Shirley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I guess they have Appleby's in Sacremento, right? Just think if he makes it. He'll spend his whole signing bonus at Applebys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If I recall, he went to a Catholic high school in Kansas City but left after his Soph year when he went to that basketball factory "school" his JR year. Then, when it lost accreditation, he went back to his Catholic high school but could play b/c of eligibility/transfer rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So he is invited to training camp...Does that mean he receives a 10 day contract or something? Or does he actually have to make the team to get paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So he is invited to training camp...Does that mean he receives a 10 day contract or something? Or does he actually have to make the team to get paid? I believe with training camp he will get a per diem and travel expenses paid, but he still has to make the team and get an actual contract to really get paid. 10 day contracts only apply during the regular season. However, as he is with them for training camp, there is a good chance that he will play in the D-league if he doesn't make the final roster.
