Pooh and D Block gone

[Section 101]

The team didnt pick up their options, they are noe unrestricted FA.

Jackson wasn't bad but with Hickson around he won't have a chance. I wish him the best and hope he gets picked up by a team.

Pooh should meet up with Luther Head and try to keep the poohead lineup alive somewhere else. In China maybe.

 

[Bricklayer]

This isn't shocking news. Been a bit puzzled why people occasionally continued to refer to them as pieces going forward. Normally the deep 11th/12th men types, barring major upside, get swapped out every year as you go looking for another diamond in the rough.

 

[Spok22]

They were both pretty decent guys in my book. Sad to see them go and wish them the best of luck.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Is this a report or just speculation? I haven't seen this reported anywhere.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I actually read on twitter that Darnell Jackson was picked up, but It wasnt a great source. I havent seen anything "official" either way.

 

[cuad]

They didn't even have options. Darnell Jackson had a qualifying offer and Pooh Jeter's contract is just unguaranteed next year.

 

[Glenn]

Whiteside will take Jackson's spot on the bench.

 

[rainmaker]

Whiteside will take Jackson's spot on the bench.

Maybe even more. Blake Griffin missed his rookie season with knee problems, and look at what he did. Given what happened to Whiteside this past year, I fully expect to see him jumping over cars at the all star game.

This was reported in the Bee yesterday!

Here's how the Kings roster stands with the lockout on:

F/C DeMarcus Cousins
G Tyreke Evans
G Jimmer Fredette
G/F Francisco Garcia
F Donte Greene
F/C J.J. Hickson
F Tyler Honeycutt
G Isaiah Thomas
F/C Jason Thompson
G/F John Salmons
C Hassan Whiteside

Restricted free agents
G Marcus Thornton

Unrestricted free agents
C Samuel Dalembert
G/F Marquis Daniels
F Darnell Jackson
G Pooh Jeter (team did not pick option on his contract for next season)

We did not extend D block a qualifying offer, hence why he is now an unrestricted FA
