The camp for Kings forward Jason Thompson would like to get him traded before Thursday's deadline, a source said.

The longest tenured King has finally had enough after 7 years and like 8 coaches and well over 60 teammates JT wants to move on.

I really think he could help a number of teams he's a PF/C who this year has shut down AD/Taj Gibson/Blake Griffin/Faried x2 and a number of other players elite/star players and under decent coaching was actually a elite defender in the post.

In particular he could help teams like Dallas/OKC/Suns/Clippers basically any team looking to add size and defense and he at times can chip in and score.

While he's never been anything more than a average player dude competes hard and doesn't quit in games for the most part and has literally beat out every single PF the Kings have bought in over 7 years to try and replace him.

Is he Hood? Can the police get him?

Last I saw of him, this guy pretty much sucked

They mysteriously played Derrick Williams over him cause they wanted up tempo but the first 20-30 games of the season impact wise he was excellent and a massive reason that the Kings got off to a nice start.

He's the definition of borderline NBA starter.

No doubt which is exactly why a lot of playoff teams could use a big body who plays defense in particular a team like the Mavs. Even someone like Atlanta imo would be great for him as a back up C/PF since he can play both.

I'd take Jason Thompson on Portland. Very poorman's Aldridge. I think he could be good for the Blazers bench. If the price is right do it. Blazers offer Will Barton and a second rounder.

JT makes roughly 5-6 mil per year, I don't think Barton would be close to that at this point in terms of making it work financially.

He could be a good big off the bench for top teams, he always plays well whenever Cousins is absent.

Damn didn't know Thompson was that overpaid. I don't really think TRob is all that great but probably wouldn't trade him for Thompson. Robinson has an enforcer attitude I really like. I think it helps this team to have him just for that punk attitude he has on the court. Every contender needs some nasty as Pop would say.

5-6 million isn't really overpaid relative to other bigs and it will be a bargin going forward as the caps increases. Even borderline starters make 8-9 million if they are not on a rookie deal

A guy Toronto could use too.
