Two days after the Sacramento Kings' season ended on April 13, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported that Israeli rookie Omri Casspi told reporters that he's "ready for a bigger team."  In other words, well, what exactly does he mean:  he wants to play for a taller team?  ... a team in a bigger market? .... a team that isn't as awful year in and year out as the Kings .... a team that has management with a clue?

According to Ha'aretz, which quoted Sacramento Bee reporter Sam Amick: "Within the final two months of the season, Casspi went from the Kings' small forward of the future to a question mark."

Ha'aretz reported that Casspi's agent has received around seven offers from other NBA teams this season who are ready to make a deal with Sacramento.

More from the Ha'aretz report:   "[Coach Paul] Westphal not only cut down his minutes but sent Casspi conflicting messages that just confused him," says a close associate of the Israeli. "He told the papers he wasn't satisfied that any of his candidates for small forward [Casspi, Donte Green and Andres Nocioni)]had secured their place for next season, but he told Casspi he was building on him."
