(From the diaries. Thanks for the news, kingme18. This certainly could have something to do with some trade rumors, but I'll get into that in the comments. - TZ)
The Kings have cut their roster down to 14 by waiving Orien Greene, Geoff Petrie announced. Orien Greene has disappointed by Reggie Theus' standards and with Udrih signed as the point guard sharing the duties with Douby, Garcia, Salmons and even Artest, The Kings probably felt Greene was excess.
I, for one was kind of stunned the Kings waived Greene over Watkins because with the return of Justin Williams, I thought the Kings front-court would have been too deep while there is also glaring hole at the point with a lack of a true point guard other than Udrih rather than having a shooting guard or a small-forward transformed version of a point guard.

Re: Kings Waive Greene
Clearly, that's not going to happen. Here are the possible reasons you cut Orien Green over Mookie:
- Orien sees the writing on the wall and requests it.
- You think you'll need Watkins sooner than you'd need Greene again, be it trade or injuries.
- You really see something in Watkins.

Re: Kings Waive Greene
If he comes in and grabs a rebound every 2 minutes and scores a basket every 5 minutes of action he should see his minutes increase every game.
Of course the problem for him will be can he not screw up on defensive rotations and keep from turning the ball over. One mistake he makes may see him riding the pine and we all know Justin is not the most experienced nor savvy player in the NBA.
