    As for the next time we see Jimmy Jackson, well, that's unknown because he is without a team. The Kings have talked with the free agent's representative, Mark Termini. They've said they'd like to have him back, but in professional sports, the only way to truly show that is to fork over the bucks -- and that they have not done.


    The Kings, after making a $10.2 million luxury-tax payout this summer, are looking to shave payroll. It's the first time they've sought to do so since the Maloof family assumed control in 1999.
    So, the reality is, it's difficult to criticize the ownership for not spending money to improve its product.
