    what was this guy thinking? Anthony Lumpkin (And1) was reported to have signed a 10 day contract with the Kings thanks to his outstanding summer league play. Only one problem.... The Kings have no idea who he even is.

    "When I came across this, I was, 'What? I don't remember him,' " Reynolds said. "I guess he didn't think about the Internet and that we can read these stories. It blows his cover. In the past, you'd hear about how a player convinces someone to write a story, so he can be a hero for a while, and then he comes up with a bogus ankle injury when camp comes around."</div>
