Two small pieces of news to pass along…
First, Jermaine Taylor was given the pink slip this afternoon. Taylor’s contract ran through the 2012-2013 season if the Kings had so desired, but, it became non-guaranteed if waived before August 1st of this year.
Good guy – sad to see him go – but those things happen.
In other news, Jason Jones reports that the Kings have extended their qualifying offer to Marcus Thornton making him a restricted free agent, giving the Kings the right to match any offer on the open market. I highly doubt any contract will be even offered outside of Sacramento as the interest appears mutual by both Thornton and the Kings – a potential third party would be only wasting their time as the Kings would match any respectable offer.
