INDIANAPOLIS -- I can tell you Joey Dorsey wasn't because of any off-color comments he made after the Kings lost in Cleveland.
Dorsey being waived was more about his attitude and work ethic (or lack of it). When you're a second-year player with a lot more D-League experience than NBA experience, you really can't afford to be late to workouts or act as if you are owed playing time.
No one I talked to thought Dorsey can't have a role in the NBA. They just agreed it was best for Dorsey not to be a King.
The Kings have been a hardworking group all season and no one wanted that attitude to change.
If you really want to know what Dorsey said, dig up some old Junior Mafia and their song "Get Money." Dorsey essential said he was going to "Get money" and I'll let you all find the rest of the chorus to the song. It's not suitable for this forum.
*Spencer Hawes (knee bruise) isn't expected to play Wednesday at Minnesota. Omri Casspi (virus) thinks he can play against the Timberwolves.
Without Hawes, Jason Thompson is the starting center. Thompson had his consecutive double-double Tuesday night. It's the first time he's done that since Feb. 16-17.
*Carl Landry didn't address the media after the game. After having his bridge knocked loose in the second quarter he opted not to speak.
*I elaborate a little bit more for tomorrow's paper, but Paul Westphal isn't looking to add any more players to the roster.
