    According to Kings coach Eric Musselman, the free-agent signee was released so they could take a longer look at rookie big men Louis Amundson and Justin Williams. But cutting Woods didn't come cheap, with the Kings having to pay him $300,000 of guaranteed money and a $100,000 advance for a sum of $400,000. The five-year veteran didn't play in the last three exhibition games.

    "Everybody liked Justin and Louis and (wanted) to look at them a little longer," Musselman said. "We considered everything, and we just felt that if we have to go a little smaller (at the backup center position), we'll have to be a little more physical."</div>
