    Loren Woods will soon be a member of the Kings, according to his agent. Jason Levien, who represents the 7-foot-2 free-agent center, said his client and the Kings agreed to contract terms Saturday. Woods, a five-year veteran who has played sparingly throughout his career, is expected to fly to Sacramento on Monday. The deal is expected to be finalized Tuesday.

    You wouldn't realize he's 7-2 by the way he plays. I don't know what to think of his stay in Toronto. He started off with about a week of some inspired play, and I almost thought we had a steal on our hands. But then after about a month he just lost all motivation. At least you can take comfort in the fact that he's at least as good as Hoffa.

    I liked him better than Hoffa at least...I hope him the best at Sacramento, he was a great guy.. (not a really good player though).

    Good luck with him. I guess he can be a solid bench player. [​IMG]

    He has some crazy motivation issues, I don't really understand him. To the guys credit, he does have talent, he's quite a good rebounder on both ends and a shot blocker, but he plays weak, and you just don't want him on the court because of effort. If he could stay on I wouldn't be surprised to see him put up very good rebounding and shot blocking numbers.

    If you can't get minutes at C on the Raptors two years in a row in which they've expressed their need for a C, I have very very very very very little trust in your ability to become good.

    out of a trillion, what chance is it that Loren Woods will be an all-star next season?

    he's not coming to play a huge role or anything, he'll be lucky to get 10 minutes every game..

    Loren Woods isn't coming to do much more than give Brad Miller an occasionaly break. Based on that alone, you can't really expect him to do all that much this season. If he can get a few rebounds, maybe a block, and a couple points with his time on the court, that's all that you guys will really need out of him.
