Darnell Jackson could be traded

Source: Deal in works to send ex-KU forward to Kings

Former Kansas University power forward Darnell Jackson may have found a home with the Sacramento Kings.

Yahoo! Sports has reported that the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to send Jackson to the Kings in a sign-and-trade deal for forward Jon Brockman, a product of Washington.

It would be good news for Jackson, who, while not under contract, played for the Bucks’ summer league team in hopes of landing a guaranteed deal.

Brockman, a power forward, started four games and appeared in 52 overall for the Kings last year as a rookie. He averaged 2.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in limited minutes.

Jackson began last year with Cleveland and appeared in 28 games before moving to Milwaukee when the Cavs waived him to bring back Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

Jackson, a second-year forward, played in one game with the Bucks. The 24-year-old former second-round pick most recently played in two summer league games in Las Vegas, averaging 9.5 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Milwaukee traded Dan Gadzuric and Charlie Bell for small forward Corey Maggette in the days leading up to the draft, then selected forward Larry Sanders, guard Darington Hobson and forward Tiny Gallon.

The Bucks also struck two major deals in free agency, signing John Salmons and Drew Gooden to five-year contracts to add them to a core that includes Andrew Bogut and Brandon Jennings.
