Yes, that’s right: NBA guys have such a terrible reputation in China right now that teams are separating themselves entirely from anybody who has played recently in the League, regardless of the team’s need and the player’s ability and makeup. Teams didn’t want him strictly because he had the perceived stink of the Association all over his basketball resume. NiuBBall.com

It's early, but Sacramento Kings forward Antoine Wright has won an NBA award: "Mr. Average." The league said Mr. Wright, who had no single significant statistic through Sunday's games, has striking similarities to league-average height, weight, age and experience. That he's never averaged more than 7.3 points or 24 minutes a game in a season means "his play on the court screams average," a league spokesman says. Wall Street Journal

The Sacramento Kings today signed free agents Antoine Wright and Pooh Jeter to contracts, according to Kings’ Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Wayne Cooper. Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed. “Antoine Wright and Pooh Jeter are two solid players at their respective positions who will add to our roster’s depth,” said Cooper. “Wright has five years of NBA experience under his belt and Jeter is coming off of a great summer league showing as he played for Cleveland’s team in Las Vegas.” NBA.com

The Sacramento Kings announced Friday that they have signed Pooh Jeter (and Antoine Wright) and Jonathan Givony later tweeted that the contract is "fully guaranteed." I rejoiced. Jeter, pronounced Jet-er, averaged 14.4 points and 5.4 assists while shooting 48% from the field for the Cleveland Cavaliers' Summer League team last week. Ridiculous Upside

Although he remains a long shot, the Celtics are reportedly still in the mix for Matt Barnes after a sign-and-trade with Toronto and Orlando fell through. Boston has also expressed interest in Rasual Butler, Larry Hughes and Antoine Wright, in addition to looking into a number of potential trade options involving Rasheed Wallace who is expected to retire prior to the start of the 2010-2011 season.

Matt Barnes, Larry Hughes, Antoine Wright and Rasual Butler are all players that Boston has had interest in for most of the free agency period, although Barnes is expected to sign with either Toronto or Cleveland while the others are probably in line to make more than what the C's are in position to offer. With the addition of Jermaine O'Neal, Boston now has five big men under contract - Kevin Garnett, Glen Davis, Kendrick Perkins, O'Neal and rookie Simih Erden. CSNNE.com

Also on the Cavs' list is forward Rasual Butler, who averaged 11.9 points and 2.9 rebounds for the Los Angeles Clippers. Sources also indicate the Cavs have interest in Antoine Wright, a solid defender who averaged 6.5 points for the Raptors last season, and former Cav Flip Murray, a scoring specialist who averaged 9.9 points with the Bobcats and Bulls in 2009-10.
