Is it Vlade? Hedo? Keon Clark? Jim Jackson? Other? For me I'd have to say Jim Jackson. I really wish the Kings had kept him, I don't know how the transaction went, if he wanted to stay or leave, or if the Kings traded him, but I really wish we still had him. He would be such a great addition.
Jim Jackson was a horrible lose for the team really he was probably the biggest cost for cutting costs on the team salary to this point. He was great for this team and I bet they wish they had him back he was a good locker room leader and a good player overall for them who gave them some vetern leadership on and off the court and a lot of points. Also Hedo who really got lose in the rotation in Sac town, but now is a sixth man of the year canidate in orlando good thing about Hedo he has never been on a losing team say what you want, but to me that is saying something about the guy true he went into set programs most of the time, but in Olrando he went into anything but that and is thriving. Then there is Wallace another player who was lost in there rotation. He is athletic and a dunk contest player. He can be a future star in the NBA I think he jsut needs to keep working hard. He is going to get a lot of shots in Charlotte and a lot of playing time when he gets back. i think he was a player who was really discouraged playing for this team since he never got anything but garbage time. Another player although retired is Mitch Richmond he played in the worst era of Kings basketball ever, but still lite it up and was solid as a rock for them over those years. He finally got his championship, but not with the Kings, but the Lakers in the third championship team i believe. Also then there is Vlade a great player for them over the eyars. i really never could have seen it coming he would return to LA after all the things he went through against LA in the playoffs and his restaraunt he openned tunnel 11 I think which was the name of the tunnel that Rick Fox and Doug Christi fought. He was a locker room leader, on cour tleader, and community leader for this team, and I think they really miss him.
i agree with pure skillz on divac, but also think they probably miss keon clark. he used to do a lot of dirty work necessary under the boards.
The past king i miss the most is Jason Williams.Cant believe nobody mentioned him.He plays a watered down version of himself in memphis,which saddens me.When he was letting loose in Sacramento he was one of the most exciting players to watch in the league.While he didnt play the best D for the kings and turned the ball over a bit too much,he was a human highlight reel with his ball handling,passing,and LONG range
The Kings that I miss the most are Gerald Wallace, Hedo Turkoglu, Scot Pollard, Keon Clark and Jimmy Jackson. That just went to show all of the depth that this team once had.

Him and Bobby Jackson where one of the best one two point guard combos before Jackson got injured. So the Kings didnt really lose much when they traded Jason Williams.
Keon Clark. He brought defense, depth, and shot blocking to Sacramento, qualities that we currently seem to lack. I recall an overtime, perhaps even double overtime game, against The Mavericks in the 2002-2003 season in which Clark had a game winning put back with just seconds remaining. I was shocked when Clark was traded for draft picks to Utah, and it's unfortunate he came down with an injury because he was certainly one talented player that any team would be grateful to have, starting or coming off the bench.
Jim Jackson as he was a terrific player to the club as a great player,and Divac for his leadership showing that he was a good respectable clubhouse leader for the Kings.
Reggie Theus!! No wait.. Vinny DelNegro!!.. oooohh no wait... Danny Ainge!! Spud Webb!! just kiddin there...sorry bout that seriously, to a certain extent Divac's leadership was a pretty big loss, but talent wise, I really do think they are better off (especially with his current health issues) Id have to say the one guy that is still playin that I would like to have back is Jim Jackson
I agree with the answers of pretty much everybody, but I think that one thing is being overlooked. I know that Jim Jackson has become a great player in Houston but that is because he is being given the time to do so. How would the Kings be able to fit Jackson in at the 3 to get enough playing time to produce. Peja has turned into an all star last year playing almost all of every game until webb got back. My only thing is that for Jackson to be effective, he needs minutes and he won't get very many (barring injury) playing behind one of the best 3's in the NBA.

If JJ was still in Sac, Matt Barnes would not be getting anywhere near the playing time that he has been getting and JJ would be first in to spell Stojakovic. Thats where his time would be coming from

Jackson by far is the most missed King right now. Can't we just make a trade for him right now LOL
I dont think that we have much in the way of trades to give for him. I cant really think of anyone that I would give up for him that would be accepted.
