Ronnie Price Has Talent

Nov 29, 2005 5:04 PM EST

More and more NBA teams are looking to add valuable pieces to their roster without spending an excess of cash.

That's why Ronnie Price is in the mix with the Kings.

Price grew up in Friendswood, Texas, and went undrafted in this year's Draft. But the night of the Draft, Price received a call from the Kings, offering him a spot on their summer league team. He will be on the Kings' squad as the team takes on the visiting Charlotte Bobcats tonight.

He has only has played 14 minutes so far, but his teammates and coaches see promise.

"He's very explosive and quick and he can shoot," says Kings point guard Jason Hart. "He's going to be good. When he gets out there, he'll get some confidence, that's all. He's got everything else."

Ostertag Holds No Special Malice For Kings

Nov 17, 2005 3:40 PM EST

Greg Ostertag probably wasn't expecting it, but he received a relatively warm ovation when he was introduced in Arco Arena on Tuesday. Then again, Ostertag said he felt the same way.

"People treated me great here," the Jazz center said of his first game in Sacramento since being traded by the Kings back to Utah in July. "I wish I could have played more, but I never had any complaints about how nice everyone was to me."

That's why the 7-foot-2 center said he didn't want to beat the Kings any more than he wants to win any night. "It's not a personal thing. I don't have a vendetta against anyone. It just didn't work out," Ostertag said of his single season in Sacramento, the worst of his 10-year career. "Guys who feel that way usually think they've been wronged. But I was never treated badly."
