Im surprised one hasn't been made already...strange. I just wanted to say thank you Jon for your toughness, your physicality, your inspired play that gave me and most kings fans a reason to watch the team play even though it was rough. You used your brutality and hustle to show players like Amare Stoudemire that a 6'8 undersized rookie PF wasn't going to be messed with and you awed me with the amount of fight you put into the great comeback against Chicago. And most importantly I want to thank you for being a good, clean guy. There isnt many of those in the NBA which is what made you unique. Thanks Jon, and good luck through out the rest of your career.

Woulda loved to keep you and had you busting Cousin/Thompson/Landry/Whitesides' butts in practice, but you deserve better. Best of luck to you, hope the Bucks get you time, and sock BJ in the face for me.

Brokness!!!!! its a sad day honestly, I had a feeling this would come, but I had hoped it wouldn't. Oh well, I have a feeling that you'll do just fine for the bucks - any guy who can put that amount of energy/toughness and hard work into a game is worth his weight in gold and you're no exception!

gl in m-town.

I know he wasn't gonna get the minutes so we couldn't have matched the offer probably, but I still think in 2 years we will regret this. I don't fault us for not matching evem, but I think Brockman will be a beast when he gets some real minutes.

I enjoyed watching you go after rebounds in the paint. You always got the other teams attention :lol:

Best of luck,

It was fun watching you play. Hope you get an opportunity to shine with the bucks. But, who's going to sing C&W with Donte?

Brockman will be in heaven with the Bucks. They thump everyone in the paint. Thanks for the hustle and toughness Brock. Saw a guy at 6-7 that could handle any big man in the NBA. Every team can use a thumper like Brock.

I haven't been this sad about losing a player since Bibby.

Jon those special moments we shared together while I sat in my living room watching you dive for the loose balls on my 55-inch Sony LCD that I bought from Best Buy in late 2009 were so special to me. The hustle you displayed sent tingles down my spine. I will truly, truly miss you Jon.

I've haven't seen much of Brockman, but I was wondering if he is specifically a PF or if he'd be able to fill in as a backup C? It sounds like he's going to be a fun player to watch, I'm very excited to see him play w/ the Bucks.

Good to hear he is a player that will be missed, obviously no room in your lineup so seems like a great pickup by Hammond for cheap. Every team needs one of these guys in their rotation, excited to watch him play.

Brockness Monster will be lurking in the waters of Lake Michigan come October
