    This sounds like Rick Adelman is already the GM of Kings.

    Wow :eek:

    Hope we re-sign him...we won't

    But this kid has talent and I hope he can find the right team to tear it up. Whether it be another NBA team or a international team.

    Best of luck JT.

    Seemed like he played well in stretches with the Kings but that is the way the cookie crumbles. He will get another chance somewhere.

    Probably not the Euroleague. Too good.

    He's totally Moneyball pick. Just in the D-League!

    I remember when we traded him and so many people said it was ridiculous because he would one day be a star. I guess that's two teams that have made terrible terrible decisions.

    He's not an NBA player. Belongs in D-League or overseas.

    Sometimes a guy just isn't good enough.

    If they don't draft a SG, he should try to workout for a team like the Cavaliers before he tries overseas or D league.

    He'd be an upgrade over Keith Bogans for the Bulls, imo.

    I was just going to say that I hope the Bulls give him a shot, but his outside shooting will be a major turnoff for them. They should have their pick of the litter for that SG position which will be highly coveted by free agents like Shannon Brown and JR Smith.

    Maybe the Bucks or the Celtics could pick him up. I could see him being a fit on both of those teams.

    Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. We really haven't seen either guy play very many minutes, but I have seen nothing to indicate Williams is a better player than Taylor. And I don't really remember Taylor being a problem to the team.

    Dude put up 12 ppg 3 rpg and 2 apg on 50% shooting in only 26 mpg as a starter this past season. The Kings are just set at SG between Thornton and Evans and saw no reason to pay him. If I were the Bulls, I'd snatch up Jermaine asap. He and Rose could make a good backcourt tandem for years.

    No one said he was. Besides, JT was a second round pick. Can't get em all right. Be happy he hit with Chase later in the second round.
