Milwaukee -- The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Keyon Dooling and two people with knowledge of other talks told The Associated Press on Monday that the team is in trade discussions with the Sacramento Kings to obtain forward Jon Brockman.
Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade talks had not been completed. The deal would send forward Darnell Jackson and a second-round pick to Sacramento as part of a sign-and-trade arrangement for Brockman, a power forward who started four games and appeared in 52 for the Kings last year as a rookie. He averaged 2.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in limited minutes.
Dooling will be the backup point guard behind Brandon Jennings. Dooling, a 10-year veteran and first-round pick in 2000, most recently played for New Jersey, where he averaged 6.9 points and 2.5 assists in 53 games, including eight starts. Terms were not released.
Brockman, 23, was a second-round pick by the Kings who impressed the coaches with his rugged play down low. He did not participate in Sacramento's NBA Summer League schedule that ended Sunday.
Brockman has more than 320,000 Twitter followers to his verified account. His biography there says "Take a look into the life of The Brockness."
Jackson, 24, began last year with Cleveland and appeared in 28 games before moving to Milwaukee.
Jackson, a second-year forward, played in one game with the Bucks. Jackson, a former second-round pick most recently played in two summer league games in Las Vegas with the Bucks.
