Lakers, Kings Front Runners To Land Nate?

The Lakers and Kings appear to be the front runners to land guard Nate Robinson, a restricted free agent of the Knicks.

Sacramento was reportedly close to swinging a deal that involved Robinson and Jared Jeffries at February's trading deadline, but talks between the Kings and Knicks fell through.

It's possible that the two teams could rekindle talks this summer.

The Lakers was rumored to have inquired about Robinson after he scored 33 points at the Staples Center in December, and both Kobe Bryant and Jerry Buss gushed about the guard after the mid-December game.

Kings Looking To Add Size In Free Agency

Free agency begins Wednesday in the NBA, and the Kings will be looking to add a big man.

Sacramento drafted Tyreke Evans, Omir Casspi and Jon Brockman in Thursday night's NBA Draft.

"I think we need to try to add some additional size up front," Kings general manager Geoff Petrie told the Sacramento Bee.

The Kings have Ike Diogu, who will be a restricted free agent in just a few days, as an option.

"We're not allowed to talk about free agents until July 1," Petrie said. "I guess we'll talk about that then."
