Pacers, Kings Interested In D.J. Augustin?

May 30, 2008 10:52 AM EST

The Pacers, Kings, and Blazers are among the teams reportedly interested in Texas point guard D.J. Augustin as the 2008 NBA Draft approaches, according to HoopsWorld.

"Anything can happen on draft night. I try not to look at or listen to the projections," Augustin said from Pre-Draft Camp in Orlando. "I just try to stay focused on what I have to do in front of these teams, and that's what matters."

The 76ers and Bucks are also mildly interested in the guard, as well.

"They've shown some interest (Milwaukee). My agent said they are pretty much looking at me a little bit. I'm not sure who I'm going to work out with, but I'm just going to go in and work hard," Augustin added.

In RealGM.com's latest mock draft, Chris Reina has Augustin going to Indiana with the eleventh overall pick.

Could Kings Lose Udrih And Johnson?

May 29, 2008 5:42 PM EST

The Kings could lose point guards Beno Udrih and Anthony Johnson through free agency so Geoff Petrie is looking for help everywhere, according to The Sacramento Bee.

"You know," the Kings' basketball president said, "when the season starts, we're going to have to have some point guards."

Both Udrih and Johnson will hit the market on July 1, and Petrie realizes that there's a possibility that both could leave.

"We'll look at the draft, we'll obviously look at our free agents, we'll look at trading and we'll look at signing," Petrie said.

"We've had the privilege of working with Geoff for the past nine years and consider him to be the best general manager in the NBA," Kings' owner Joe Maloof said. "He's respected league-wide for his dedication to the game, innovation, scouting, and diligence. We look forward to our continued work with Geoff as we bring the Kings back to prominence."
