Good to see vast majority so far gives a resounding NO to bringing back this mediocre goof-ball scrub. Still, I don't get the loser mentality of many Kings fans who constantly hark for the good 'ol bad days of wanting beat up and washed up former players back. I hear them all the time saying, "if we can just get Bobby Jackson again", or "wouldn't it be great if C-Webb would sign with us for the veterans minimum." Kings fans with a nostalgia for nothing IMO
While not a Pollard comment, I put Jerry in the top 2 color guys for your reasons above. If we take this further lets move it to a new post.
As for Pollard, he says he is a "running big" not suited for the eastern game. He is a better defender than Brad but not the high post presence of Brad. He is a great bench guy for both the 4 and 5. But if Kings are going youth...... well, too bad for Scot. He was definitely the fan favorite in his years here with his "do's" changing every week or sooner. And a very agressive rebounder. If Brad leaves without a 5 in return, then maybe for bench/locker room presence if he can get at least 20 min/game.

I think it's kind of a moot point since he'd be playing behind so many people that he'd never make it onto the court, all he'd do is take up a roster spot that might be better used. We're already 3 players deep at both PF and C with existing contracts, 3.5 deep if we signed Watkins for more than the summer, and we only have 12 slots aside from the inactive list. We're 2.5 deep at both SF and SG without signing anyone new, and we're 1 deep at PG (unless you consider Douby a PG) without signing anyone new.
Seems to me that we need a PG a lot more than another big.
But I valued what Pollard did for the locker room, the guy is a total clown and really helped people keep their sense of humor.
So how about we hire him as the Sense of Humor Coach?
