How bout this...

I'd definitely do that, solves our two holes. Only other hole would be a shooter off the bench (Wesley Person is still available to be signed, and isn't out of it).
Both guys are unhappy in Minnesota. That's because Mark Blount has come in and played well and took his minutes, also with Madsen. Just like how Marcus Banks has come in and played well off the bench and took Jaric's minutes, along with Anthony Carter. Griffin can also rebound well and is athletic, 6'10", and I think he'd re-discover his shot in Sac. I've wanted him as a King since 2004.

You forget that NBA teams often reward players for stuff they've done in the past and still reward players for what they can do in the future. Current example: Kwame Brown's contract with the Lakers. Future example: Even if Darko does nothing with the Magic, he's young enough and talented enough to garner another contract near the MLE or higher.
Personally, I'd love Jaric in a Kings uniforn if it were for cheap. The guy would be a terrific 6th man that would allow Bibby to move around without the ball. He was also considered the best 1 on 1 defender in last year's Clipper's team.
He may have fell out of favor in Minny but the guy's still a talent and will be more valuable in trade talks than KT and his contract.

Where have you been? 
Griffin hasn't played with regularity or much at all since January. Madsen/Blount have taken his minutes and spot in the rotation. Same thing for Jaric with Carter and Marcus Banks.
Over the last week or so, Minny has said a couple times they're looking for a rebounder to help KG down low.
All of this has been posted about in the West Conf. thread in the NBA forum.

I find it amusing that you call for a well thought out argument for the statement I made, yet provided no basis for the statement you made. Personally, I think it is pretty damn obvious that Jaric is not a "promising young point guard" but if you would like some evidence, here it is:
1)You state Jaric is young. He turns 28 years old this year. Pete Carrill might think he is young, but no NBA GM in his right might would think that. There are 28 year olds in the league that have 10 years of experience. 28 years old is not young in the NBA.
2) You state that Jaric is "promising". What is promising about a guy who has shown he can get you 9 pts and 4 assists in 30 minutes night in and night out? Maybe he wasn't getting the right "opportunities" with the Clippers the last 3 years. After all, the Clippers have always been one of the more talented teams in the league. Give me a break, he played for the Clips the last 3 years and couldn't put up better numbers than that? Average players can put up good numbers on bad teams. Jaric couldn't even do that. Now he can't even crack the Twolves lineup over Anthony Carter and Marcus Banks? Yeah thats promising.
Jaric is maybe one step higher on the ladder than Jason Hart, but I would be cautious to go that far.

I'm not the one calling out people's opinions and calling them "laughable."
28 years old is just entering his prime. If you want to nitpick over semantics then I will give you that part of the argument.
What Jaric is capable of doing for the right team is beyond statistics. He creates defensive mix-matches whenever he's on the floor. A 6'7" hard-nosed defending point guard who can hit an open shot and over power smaller guards will ALWAYS have a contract in the NBA.
